    Simple ASP question

    Ok, please feel free to call me the most stupid person in the world for this ASP question...

    I have an ASP page calling in a txt file into a Dhtml text box and I am not able to get any hyperlinks working, I have tried almost everything I can think of.... I basically want to have links to other sites and I need to be able to add email links etc...

    Any ideas? Am I being as dense as I think I am?

    What I have is the scrollable Dhtml text box (an extension for Dreamweaver UltraDev). In the text box is a piece of ASP code that calls a text document from a text folder in the root directory. In one of these text documents is a list of links and they need to be able to be clicked on to go to the site (currently I have the name and url next to it with no hyperlink)... I was hoping to have the hyperlink to the sites in the name of the site in a < a href = >(without the spaces) style thing but it doesnt work....

    That is my dilema.

    hmmm...I am still not quite sure what you are saying...but, maybe this will help you:

    you could do something like this
    Code:
    <a href="<%= somevariable %>"><%=sometext%></a>
    does this help?

    I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Maybe if you posted some of the code of what you are trying to do we can get an idea.

    I think that he wants to display the hyperlinks in the textbox, which are loaded from a text file (also from within the textbox). Is that correct?
