hyperlink problem 1

[Pampers]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a hyperlink. But is not working (it will point to a website withing my website). Say the website url is:

http://www.test.com.

It requests this:

Requested URL: /ASPNET_MasterPages_Tutorial_01_VB/

http://www.test.com

and I want:

http://www.test.com

Here is my code.

w: <asp:hyperlink runat="server" text = '<%#Eval("ApartmentWebsite")%>' 
                    Navigateurl= '<%#Eval("ApartmentWebsite")%>'></asp:hyperlink>

You'll need to append the "

http://"

part onto your "ApartmentWebsite" path as if it doesn't have it, it will try to access it locally on your site (hence the error).

You could do it one of two ways; either in the data source prior to sending it to the client (i.e. in sql), or from within a function that checks whether the input value contains "http" and if not prepends it to the start of the value.

Hi ca8msm,
I thought i tried putting "

http://"

in the datasource before. Ha. But this time around it worked. I added to the query, and it works fine. Thanks a lot for the answers and swift reply.
