Form External Hyperlink with custom display text

Posted on by Joao Almeida

I'm trying to put a field in a grid with a hyperlink to an external website (for example: google.com). However, instead of displaying "google.com" I want it to display my own text, for example: "Web search".

I added a HTML Viewer control to my form and set its parmHtml as shown below:

The field shows correctly but for some reason, it doesn't redirect to www.google.com. Instead, it tries to redirect to my devbox instance link/www.google.com as shown below:

Is there any way that I can make it redirect to the link that I specify and get rid of the dev box link part?

As a workaround I could simply just use the URL EDT, but the problem is that I wouldn't be able to show my custom text and it would show the entire link.

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Thank you

It sounds easy - use the absolute path, include the URL schema (https://www.google.com instead of mere www.google.com).
