Hyper link with property value as form field

OK, I have solved one of the issues I had with this

I can now update a field with the "url"+ "value from another field"

my code to run in OnBeforeUpdate and OnBeforeAdd

//my code----

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();

string AA = "my URL"+this.getProperty("field with value");
this.setProperty("my field with complete URL", AA.ToString());

return this;

//-----------

So how can I now set "my field with complete URL" to present it as an clickable hyperlink??

Hi MKalla

I guess you need to use HTML to create the link.

Step 1: Create a HTML element in your form

Step 2: Add the below Code in HTML Code

<a id="newlink" href="#" onclick="return showURL();" target="_blank" style="color: #3668B1;text-decoration: underline">Click Here</a>
<script>
function showURL() {
debugger;
var description = document.thisItem.getProperty("description");
var baseURL = "https://www.w3schools.com/";
var specificURL = "";
if (description) {
specificURL = baseURL + description;
document.getElementById("newlink").href = specificURL ;
} else {
top.aras.AlertError("Please Enter the field with value.");
return false;
}
};
</script>

Step 3: Save Form

Here description tag is the dynamic value field you want to append to URL. Let me know if it helps.

Thank You

Hi Gopikrishnan,

Thanks, but I get this error clicking on the link

Hi,

I solved it

missed that you had combined two strings in the URL

Since my field contained the whole URL, then I just cleared

 "https://www.w3schools.com/" and set it to ""

THANKS!!

would it be possible to show the "field value" as URL text instead of "Click Here" ?

I managed to solve that too.

Added a method to the form event and set it to onFormPopulated

code:

function updateStatus()
{
var newString = document.thisItem.getProperty("my field with value to display as hyperlink");
document.getElementById("newlink").innerHTML = newString;

}
updateStatus();

You are welcome

Thanks for this information.  I was able to use it to modify one of my forms.
