HYPERLINK PROBLEM

[Jane Schneeloch]

I am trying to provide a hyperlink to a pdf file. I have followed the
directions in the help file, but when the site is uploaded, there is no
link there. Suggestions?

[Priya]

Why is hyperlink not working?

I tried to do the same like below:

To define a hypertext link:

1.
Select the text you want to define as a hypertext link.

2.
Select Window > Text Inspector to open the Text inspector.

3.
In the Hyperlink text box, enter the URL to which you want to link, or enter any message you want to send to the on hyperlinkClicked handler. Then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).



The selected text gets the hyperlink format and also shows handcursor, but when i click it, it doesnt open the link page.

Any solution.

[Dave Mennenoh]

Did you read up on the 'on hyperlinkClicked handler? The data you put in the
text inspector is sent into that handler - you then need to do something
with it... It doesn't do anything automatically.

Hi all.
I use a text member with Hyperlinks in it, and i use the on
Hyperlinkclicked to manage the links. The problem is that this
function is not called.
The only way to get it called is to put a
member(mymemeber).media=member(mymemeber).media, but this is too slow.
Why Director can't work as it should? Is there anything I can do?

[Gabriel_Ayala@adobeforums.com]

I am trying to create a URL hyperlink in an InDesign 3.0 document that is being converted to PDF. I'd like to be able to click on the text in the PDF and have it open the the URL automatically in Explorer.

What I've done is highlighted the text <http://www.myurl.com>, chose new hyperlink from URL, double checked the hyperlink destination ([url]http://www.myurl.com[/url]) but when I print to PDF and I try clicking on the text with the hand tool nothing happens. I was forced to create my hyperlink using Adobe Acrobat.

Anyone know why this is happening?

[Steve_Werner@adobeforums.com]

To preserve hyperlinks, you must export to PDF, choosing to Include Hyperlinks. If there is transparency on your page, you must choose Acrobat 5 or 6 compatibility.

[Ken_Grace@adobeforums.com]

Check you didn't include any trailing spaces when you selected the text.
It's easy to do, but makes nonsense of the hyperlink.

[andrew sargent]

I am sure that there is a simple answer to this, but i have not been able to
find it.

I have a hyperlink column to send the user to an external webpage.
But when it is clicked it appends the URL to the current URL

i.e

[url]http://www.mywebsite.com/datapage.aspx#http://www.externalwebsite.com[/url]

Thanks for any help you can give

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

It sounds like you are binding to the wrong field or concatenating
something. Perhaps you could post the troublesome code? Here's some example
code:

Dim dt As DataTable
Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
DataGrid1.DataSource = CreateDataSource()
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End If
End Sub



Function CreateDataSource() As ICollection

' Create sample data for the DataList control.
dt = New DataTable
Dim dr As DataRow

' Define the columns of the table.
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Item", GetType(String)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Qty", GetType(Int32)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Price", GetType(Double)))

' Populate the table with sample values.
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To 8
dr = dt.NewRow()
dr(0) = "http://mydomain/Item" & i.ToString & ".aspx"
dr(1) = i * 2
dr(2) = 1.23 * (i + 1)
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next i

Dim dv As DataView = New DataView(dt)
Return dv
End Function


<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkColumn Target="_blank" DataNavigateUrlField="Item"
DataTextField="Price" HeaderText="Link"></asp:HyperLinkColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Label</asp:Label></P>

Hi Andrew,

Hi had to rejig your code to use the Nwind database. You seem to be using
some strange interfaces which I changed. Not sure what's the reason.

Try this to see how you do?

The code was generated with webmatrix which may explain why it differs from
your code.

OK, I have figured out where i was going wrong. The data type in the
database was set to Hyperlink.
I changed it to Text and...bob's your mother's brother ;-)

Thanks for reporting back.

That's another weird one for someone else to find in a Google search some
