Hi there,
I'm working with a project that utilizes xml. Ordinarily, for every element within the xml file, a filter is applied to replace double quotes, less than and greater then symbols ( ", <, > ) with their appropriate html equivalants ( ", <, > ).
However, I wanted to make a small change. For one of the elements, I wanted to make it possible for a user to provide HTML markup for hyperlinks. Such as: <a href="www.someplace.com">www.someplace.com</a>
I'm not sure if this is even allowed. So for the heck of it, I eliminated the filter for the one element, applied HTML markup for a hyperlink, and when I display the xml in the browser the HTML markup is indeed hidden but link is not a link. When I place my cursor over it, the cursor doesn't change to the pointing finger, nor does it recognize it as a hyperlink. I can click on that thing til the cows come home and nothing happens. Or for this forum I guess I should say "til the moose come home".
So, can HTML markup for a hyperlink in xml be accomplished? If so, how?
