Link to a PDF in the /web folder

[hectorp]

Hi,

How can I place a link to a PDF file stored in the /web folder (other way than a button) in the index page?

TIA

Hi Hector,

I don't understand the question. A link is just a
<a > tag in the HTML - so, um, you can include <a> tags in your HTML?
But I feel that's too obvious, and I've missed what you are really asking...

cheers

Hi Bruce,

I'm following NT Web30 example. It shows how to load a PDF file using hyperlinks, but the link to the PDF file is stored in a table field.

I need the link to be in the form instead of been stored in the file.

go to the browse column in the template,
to the "on click" tab
and set the URL field to whatever you like.
like maybe;
'https://capesoft.com'

Is this what you have in mind?

Cheers

Bruce,

I manage to load the PDF from the URL option of a button. It is not an HTML hyperlink but it works.

In the next future, If I remove the button then I will have to look how to do it with HTML.

Cheers.

That link is from a menu.
So I'm not sure what you mean by "button".

Bear in mind that a NetWebPage procedure has no functionality, it's an empty container. So you can add whatever HTML in there that you like. If you want something more powerful use a NetWebForm (memory form) for your indexpage procedure, and then you can use any form field - including buttons or just plain text with URL's in them.

Bruce,

If I understand correct, I must use something like this in the XHtml tab:

 <a href="DIVULGACION.pdf">ThisTextIsTheLink</a>

And it must be enclosed in a <Div></div> so it can be located in the area where I need it, by using CSS.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong?

that's a regular <a> tag for HTML yes. What you would call a hyperlink. Wrapping it in a div can be useful for layout reasons, although you can add a class attribute to the <a> tag if you like. As in
<a href="something" class="whatever"> and so on.
