Column Link to external website 14 Years ago Karma: 0
Hi

I'm trying to set up a table with the first column listing a country name and then the second column providing a link to the website of the Central Bank of that country.

I have created a csv file, column one with the country name and column two with the following:

<a href="www.centralbank.gov>Central Bank</a>

I've also set recognize link to yes and choose target to blank.

What I get in the Central Bank column on the page on my site is -

www.centralbank.gov>Central Bank

with everthing up to end-Central indicated as a link.

What I want in the column is Central Bank as the link to be clicked to then be taken to a separate browser window showing the home page of the relevant Country's central bank.

Your assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Andrew

Hello,

Use the following value in CSV file:

Code:


<a href="www.centralbank.gov">Central Bank</a>



instead of

Code:


<a href="www.centralbank.gov>Central Bank</a>



PS: In this case it doesn't require to enable 'Recognize link' option because you use HTML anchor, 'Recognize link' option makes sense when data value contain link like:

www.centralbank.gov

not HTML anchor tag.

Thanks

The value in my csv field was correct, ie. included the closing ", but setting recognize link to yes was creating the problem. It now works having set recognize link to no.

Two further questions -

1. Is it possible to open the link in this second column in a "new window with browser" rather than in the parent window, and if so how?

2. I don't seem to be able to "unset" the sorting facility in the weblink column (2nd column) which is rather meaningless, even when I delete it from the columns settings parameter (Column Index, Sorting Type, Sorting Order). How can I resolve this?

Regards
Andrew

PS - This is a great product, keep up the good work!

You are welcome. Regarding your questions:

1. You can add target="_blank" attribute to anchor tag in CSV file. It will look like:

Code:


<a href="www.centralbank.gov" target="_blank">Central Bank</a>



2. Could you specify what table widget you use ("ARI Table Sorter", "ARI Data Table", "ARI Tiny Table")?
