Hello

I thought if I linked a datagrid column to a field containing something like
this ... <a href="http://www.google.com"" target="_blank">http://www.google.com";
target="_blank">http://www.google.com</a> ... that it might appear
hyperlinkable in the grid. But alas, no.

What I currently have is a non-template bound column connecting a data field
which may contain, amongst other text, a URL (or maybe an Email address). Is
there any way to have just the URL part hyperlinkable so user can click and
redirect?

Or do I HAVE to use a Hyperlink column for this? Problem I see here is that
I only want the URL part hyperlinkable; not the complete text (which could
be several sentences).

Any ideas most welcome.

Thanks
Graeme

probably this is escaped to <a href= ... hope you get the idea, thats why
its not hyperlink in the grid

simplest way to accomplish this would be to use TemplateColumn

You can also use the SPAN tag:

<span onclick="...">some text</span>

But this only works with web browsers that support HTML 4.
