Hi,

I have set up a search page that queries a database and then filters specific records for a user which are displayed on a results page. Now my problem is that I need one of the resulting columns to produce hyperlinks to other pages in dreamweaver, or to link to an external webpage like google.co.uk.

So say a user enters they want to look at music from the 80's (for instance) into a field, they are then taken to the results page listing the artists as in the database correponding to the 80's. From here in the resulting table (repeated region behaviour) one of the columns (artist) lists hyperlinks that take the user to the page with info about the artist - this page doesnt take data from a database, its a page created in dreamweaver, so has extension .jsp. Can anyone help please?

If you want to link to an external page.
Add another column to your table where a url would be inserted.
Then highlight the text you want to link and in the link box go to the folder icon.
Click "data sources" in the menu then click on the column that contains your link.
Make sure all links begin with
