Embedded a href in Text

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have (what seems like a simple) question. But it is eluding me...

I have a SP list with a column that holds a reference URL Field is called folderPath in a list called Inventory.

I want to put a HTML text object on my canvas that will basically be "Click Here to Open Folder"

So, I have put this in the HtmlText property of the object:

"<a href="Inventory.folderPath">Click to Open Building Pictures Folder</a>"

But that is not redirecting properly. I assume it is a simple formatting issue that I just can't figure out.

Cheers

Have you tried putting a label on the screen and setting it to Inventory.FolderPath to see what value it's returning?

@JR-BejeweledOne yes the variable (with the path) is already on a label for validation.
I was able to figure fix my issue by doing this:
"<a href="& Inventory.folderPath &">Click to Open Building Pictures Folder</a>"
Adding the & inside the href corrected my error.

These are the best solutions, when you are able to resolve it yourself.
