Can someone provide the solution to having help text on a catalog variable to contain an external link?

Thanks for your help.

You should be able to use html in the help text. For example:



Click <a href="http://link/">here</a> to see results.


Would look like:

Click here to see results.

Thank you very much!


Did this work properly? I'm still seeing the code in the variable help area


It should work fine in the "Help text area", but verify that you have the span end tag in your code:



<span> Click <a href="</span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://link/" rel="nofollow">http://link/</a><span>">here</a> to see results.</span>


If you tried adding this to the Help Tag area, then it might have cut the code off at 80 characters.
