Email & Web address will not show as an active li

Hi,
I?m puzzled, I?m able to retrieve from a database names, addresses etc but I
can?t retrieve the email or web address from the same database and show it as
an active link, (blue lettering with an underscore).

The first part of my code it the variable retrieved from the database which I
have then added a little more code to make it ?active?, yet it does not work
and I can?t see why.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Regards
Alan


<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlemail").Value)%>


<a
href="mailto:<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlemail"). Value)%>"><%=(rsResults.Fields
..Item("mlemail").Value)%>

a href="mailto:<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlemail"). Value)%>"
%=(rsResults.Fields .Item("mlemail").Value)%

It looks like it should work. Did you close the link tag </a>? Could
you give us a URI to a page which doesn't work?

Hi,

One of the problem pages starts at

http://www.cai.org.uk/asp/system_search1.asp

you'll have to complete the search until you reach the 'results' page but it
only requires 2 clicks. The information on this page is retrieved from the same
database as the company name, address etc.

I did close the <a> tag I've copied the code below. When I look at it on a
split screen in DW the email and web address show as a blue under scored
variable.

href="mailto:<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlemail"). Value)%>"><%=(rsResults.Fields
..Item("mlemail").Value)%></a></td>
</tr>
<tr class="sitemapheaders">
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><a
href="<%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlWebsite").Value )%>"
target="_blank"><%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("mlWebsi te").Value)%></a></td>

I may be completely missing something here, but on the page:

http://www.cai.org.uk/asp/results_sys.asp

which is what I get if I go two pages deep, down to the county level (I
tried Argyll and Kent), I don't see any evidence of an e-mail address
anywhere.

I've been playing with it, what I have found is if I just put the variable in
the table it shows without the link and encapsulated with '#'

A soon as I insert the extra 'mailto' code the link becomes transparent.

I've just downloaded a DW extension 'Auto Hyperlink' from here
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn121&extID=183808
and even though I've rebooted, it does not show up under design behaviours
although I can see it in my extension manager.

Joe,

Try doing a 'domestic' search under England and Surrey mine is the secound
entry.

This has no 'mailto' code, just the variable, so it is there it's just that
the mailto code for some unknown reason, does not work.

In this article it says it does.
www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts_dmx/dmxf_1/dmx1_6pf.asp

I've quickly made a test page which only included an email address taken from
the database and the date, I put it up on the server, the date showed but the
email address didn't, which leads me to think that it must be something
'global'.

Alan,

While I program in ColdFusion rather than ASP, I am posting some code I
wrote that properly displays a piece of text that shows the hyperlink.
(Note: In CF, the variable is encapsulted in the #var#. Hopefully, you can
translate it to ASP.
