asp_databases thread: Dynamic Links from a Access Databse


Message #1 by Simon Goldsmith <Simon@A...> on Thu, 26 Apr 2001 09:23:17 +0100
I am wondering if someone can help me.



I have an access database an it contains URLS and Email addresses as text.

I want to output these URLS and Email addresses to a page so that they

actually work and people can click them. 



What is the best way for me to accomplish this task?



My table containing this data is called: dwfClientsUK

The URl firl s called: ClientWebsite

The Email field is called: ClientEmail



Cheers



Simon

Create a recordset, and create the necessary HTML...



<a href="<% =objRS("ClientWebsite")%>">Click Here to visit <%

=objRS("ClientWebsite")%></a>



<a href="mailto:<% =objRS("ClientEmail")%>">Click here to email <%

=objRS("ClientEmail")%></a>

I have a similar problem.  I run an SQL query and the results are 

displayed in a tabular format.  It is needed that one of these columns the 

problem Report Number column numbers be listed as links.  I currently have 

them as links, but I'm having trouble because these links need to take the 

user to a page which displays the record in a HTML Text field page.  How 

can I know which problem report number they clicked on and generate the 

correct corresponding page.  Thanks

you could try some Javascript to give each row a value and then pass 

that value into a funciton that acts depending on the value.
