Help: generating a hyperlink in query result

[Fawcett, David]

Are you interested in having the user click on the map and be directed
automatically to another Web page?  This could be done using a URL as a
query template and setting the mode to query.  
 
Or, do you want the user to click on the map, presumably as a query and
return a page or text on the existing page that includes a list of
clickable links?  
 
David.

	Jacob, thank for your reply. 
	I think your method generates hyperlinks after post-processing
of query result. But I wonder if it is possible to return hyperlinks to
a uer directly when he/she clicks on the map. I wonder it is possible?
	 
	 
	Thanks,

		Hi Xiaopeng,
		 
		If the attribute value is simply passed into the HTML,
then it's simply a matter of putting in the right HTML code:
		 
		<a href="http://someWebsite/myDir/1.img" target=#>Click
for 1.img</a>  (the target=# makes it open in a new window)
		 
		I normally generate a directory listing, and paste it
into a spreadsheet (e.g. excel / openOffice CALC), and split up the
parts of the link, then concatenate them. For example, imagine a row in
a spreadsheet:
		 
		column 1:      <a href="http://someWebsite/mydir/
		column 2:      1
		column 3:      ".img target=#>
		column 4:      click for image 
		column 5:      1
		column 6:     </a>
		 
		column 7:     =concatenate(column1, column2, column3,
column4, column6)
		 
		Only column 2 and 5 will change (can use autonumber).
All other columns will hold the same value, and can be copied across.
		 
		Hope this makes sense.
		 
		regards,
		 
		Jacob

			I have one index on raster images and it can be
displayed and queried through Mapserver.
			I wonder whether it would be possible to
generate a hyperlink in query result.
			The hyperlink will be generated based on one
attribute in the index. 
			For example, if the attribute value is
"/home/myDir/1.img", the hyperlink will direct user to
http://SomeWebsite/myDir/1.img".
			I appreciate any suggestions or ideas.
			 
			Thank you
			 
			 
			 
			Best regards,
			Xiaopeng
