Hi, there,

I have one dynamic text with the variable "text". Can I click on the text
and then go to one html file?

Thank you!

Jenny
 
Assign something like the following to your text variable:

Code:
'<A HREF=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.homedepot.com/&quot;><U>Home[/URL] Depot</U></A><BR>'

If you're targeting a frame in a frameset use the following:

Code:
'<A HREF=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.homedepot.com/&quot;[/URL] TARGET=&quot;mainsite&quot;><U>Home Depot</U></A><BR>'

thanks!! Here, does &quot;mainsite&quot; mean &quot;mainframe&quot;?? And what does <U> refer to???

Only a few html tags are supported, see this if you want more info:


Or check this thread250-118813
Where I was discussing this with virt2001

Yes! In this case, mainsite was the name of the targeted frame. I added the <U> & </U> so the link (in this case Home Depot would be underlined as they appear in a plain html.

Be sure to check the html box in the Text Options' panel
