Problems with html.pl
Hi,
I am very new to this and a bit out of my depth. I have successfully installed DBMAN and have managed to customise the screens to some degree. However, one of my input fields is an email address and I would like to display this as a hyperlink but am having trouble. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

1) Turn off auto-generate...variable located in the default.cfg.

2) Then simply add the following in the sub html_record routine:

Code:

if ($rec{'Email'} ne "") {
print qq|<a href="$rec{'Email'}">$rec{'Email'}</a>|;
}
else {
print qq|Email Not Available|;
}


BTW: This has been addressed in the forums and also answers are provided at the UNOFFICIAL DBMAN FAQ web site linked in the Resources section of this site.

Another DBMAN site that you should use is:
