http://www.test2.com

3
.

.
and when i write on the page the contents of another database table, i want to replace on the fly every intance of the words tokyo, bangkok etc with the code <a href="

http://www.test1.com">tokyo</a>

.... <a href="

http://www.test2.com">bangkok</a>

... etc

do you have any idea how to do that?

thanks for any info.

get the data, populate the model, render the view... am I missing something?

class MyController
{
   public ActionResult Index()
   {
        var cities = database.GetCities();
        return new View(cities);
   }
}

<%foreach(var city in Model.Cities) {%>
   <a href="<%=city.Url%>"><%=city.Name%></a>
<%}%>

this is MVC 101. there lots of examples on the web to aid in your learning.
