Link in Textarea.......

[pranavcool]

Hi, I have a textarea. This textarea is getting some records from the database. The data also contains some hyperlinks and it should be clickable, say for example i am having a text as below.

To download the content, click here.

Now click here is a hyperlink redirecting to another site when clicked. now this this link is not appearing as a hyper link in my textarea. Instead of that it is appearing as a plain text in my text area without the actual hyperlink. How it is possible to get click here text to appear as hyprerlink in my textarea. Regards,

Pranav Dave

Hi, Use NavigateUrl property for the Hyperlink control. regards, kannak.....

As in a large textbox where you're entering text? Probably not with a simple textarea then. Could you elaborate a bit more please.

Try first saving the contents in HTML in the database. so whenever the information is retrieved it will automatically display the content and embed it automatically with HTML tags.

Hi, I think if you do not need to edit,then you can change the text to div or other containers to display the HTML format.
