Help: generating a hyperlink in query result

[Delfos, Jacob]

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

query result
	
	
	
	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
