URL on a page
« on: May 25, 2011, 12:33:50 AM »
I want to have a URL to another Clarion page on a form page. I use the URL type on the Fields window. But it doesn't give any option for me to provide the URL i.t.o. a page or external link, and it produces a stock-standard entry box. How can I get a URL link to an existing Clarion page?

(I have been trying to use the search on the NT Central for this, but I can't convince it that I am searching for the word "URL" and not a literal url... If there was not a previous post containing the letters "URL" - by virtue of this post there is one now.)

Hi Thys,

The URL Form-Field-Type is for entering a URL - not displaying a clickable URL.
To display a clickable URL use the Display form-field-type, and set the URL options on the "on click" tab.

cheers

For an external link, it generates properly like this:

<div id="registerpage_stcearnsaver_value_div" class="nt-form-div"><a  href="http://www.incasu.co.za" >Terms and Conditions</a>
</div>


But when a Clarion procedure is specified, it shows as a text fields and generates only this:

<div id="registerpage_stcearnsaver_value_div" class="nt-form-div">Terms and Conditions
</div>


I am definitely missing something...
