Auto Links

[TamedTech]

Sorry for the vauge Title guys, wasnt sure what this effect is called, or how its achieved.

Basicly I want to add a hyperlink to particular words automaticaly when they are added to my site, this May be somthing I need to do with my Database queries but we shall see.

So, i'm curremtly developing a site for a training company, when they are discussing certain qualifications it would be handy to make wors like "NVQ" automaticaly link to details of the accreditation.

Any ideas on where to head with this?

Thanks,

Rob

Thanks for that ca8msm.

The Vibrant media stuff if cool, but i'm looking for a solution that purley deals with internal links, i wasnt sure whether it was achievable through CSS or somthing like that.

I think you'd probably have to use javascript and regular expressions once the data had loaded.

Or do it server-side before the HTML is generated...

Well that was one thought I had, all my pages are generated using ColdFusion so i could probably do it with some nifty IF statements and queries ... i might put a little thought into that method.

If you want to do it server-side using CF you should probably ask in the CF forum.

Hope this helps,
Dan
