Display hyperlink instead of full url in URL field

[carlh]

Good morning,

Yesterday I got some help from ctomasi and it's working great!     Can we concatinate 2 fields to complete a URL?

Recap.

I have a URL field that is created by concatenating 2 values.   For extra credit, I would like to show a hyper link rather than the full ugly URL on the form.   Can this be done?

Please advise and thank you!!!

Regards,

Carl

It's a URL field and it's clickable already, and works great. It's just ugly. The question is how to display a nice looking hyper link. Like "LINK" rather than the long URL it is showing

Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

Let me see... I have an idea.

Write an onLoad client script on this table and put this script in there. See the comments highlighted for the syntax.

function onLoad() {

  var url_id=$('incident.u_url_field_link');   // $('<table name>.<fieldname_link>');

//Event.observe('<table name>.<fieldname_lock>', 'click', function(){

  Event.observe('incident.u_url_field_lock', 'click', function(){

  if(url_id.text!=''){

  url_id.text='put the text you want to display here';

  }

  });

  if(url_id.text!=''){

  url_id.text='put the text you want to display here';

  }

}
