How to disable hyperlinks 1

[Boyeditor]

I have a small, and maybe a silly question, but is it possible when generating an asp page from a access database to make the page disable the hyperlinks that is stored in the database?

I have a pda page and i'm trying to find a script that will disable all generated hyperlinks so when the text comes up there will be no clickable links. Get it?

Sorry for my bad english..

The links are stored like a link.

Like this: <a href=&quot;link.htm&quot;>Link</a>

I want to remove <a href=&quot;link&quot;> and </a>

Can you help Schase?

Ok well I had to get a little help on this by our good friends over at aspmessageboard.com.


But we can do this.

<%
link = Recordset1.fields.item(&quot;fldLink&quot.value

link = right(link,len(link)-instr(link,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot)
link = left(link,instr(link,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot-1)
%>
<%=link%>

That will return link.htm

So we simply add to it a little more

<%
link = Recordset1.fields.item(&quot;fldLink&quot.value

link = right(link,len(link)-instr(link,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot)
link = left(link,instr(link,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot-1)
link = replace(link,&quot;.htm&quot;,&quot;&quot
Link = replace(link,&quot;.html&quot;,&quot;&quot
Link = replace(link,&quot;.asp&quot;,&quot;&quot
%>
<%=link%>

Which bingo will replace 3 different extensions into just the name.

Out of curiosity - why not just store the filename? like
link.htm?

It would make it so much easier - and its no problem on pulling the links back out. &quot;Never underestimate the power of determination&quot;

btw - where normally you have the info displayed like
<%=recordset1.fields.item(&quot;fldLink&quot.Value%>

replace that with the above code (the second version) &quot;Never underestimate the power of determination&quot;

Well Stuart nice bit of code.

I looked at the question and knew something like that would work but didnt have the time to figure it all out.

I knew the standard replace like my last few lines. But for a range - ugggh. &quot;Never underestimate the power of determination&quot;
