Read this first:

After you have read the article can you please describe to me what i'm supposed to do with the last sentence:

"And to convert URL strings into Hyperlinks in any given string, just pass the string to "convertIntoURL" as below:

newString = convertIntoURL(myString)"

What does he meen? I don't get it..

ok i'm going to guess here - because your right they do not really define "string" in this instance.

Probably a misuse of the word as we know it.

At anyrate, I'm guessing String in this case means your text - the text you want to display.

If you have it into a database, try

newString = convertIntoURL(recordset1.fields.item("mytext&quot.Value)

or something along those lines - this is a pretty decent bit of code - i'm going to try it out myself, will post the results.

On a separate note, Boydeditor for future reference, please provide a bit of background as to what you are trying to accomplish, and typically I(we) do not have time to read articles then try to solve a problem.

Don't get me wrong, it's ok - i'm really glad you did post that article, just trying to help to let you get better post responses in the future.

yup string is your text.

but actually where they say do this
newString = convertIntoURL(recordset1.fields.item("mytext&quot.Value)


put this where you want the text to display (switch to code view to accomplish this)

<%
response.write (convertIntoURL(strString))
%>

now you've got to change (strString) to whatever source you are going to get your text from. be it recordset1.fields.item(&quot;txtText&quot.value or wherever.

nifty code.

Yep I had a look at the code and was going to play around with it a bit later but you beat me to it.

Thanks schase. That realy did it. I'm not realy a asp coder, but i know how to use it and control it. In Dreamweaver MX I usualy know how to implement the code, but this time got stuck.

Thanks again!!

I will also take your advise and remember it for next thread...
