Simple http link on a form

Earl LewisSep 27 2024 — edited Sep 27 2024

I want tp put a simple HTML hyperlink (an <a /> tag) on a form page, where a portion of the link is dyamic, based on a page item on the form and the rest is static. The static part and the page item part are simply concatenated together to create the full HTML of the anchor tag.

I've created an application item that represents the static portion of the link and successfully created a computation that puts the application item together with the page item and then sets another page item with the concatenated value. The problem is getting the generated hyperlink to display as normal HTML on the page.

My application item value is set via the computation, which is as simple as this:

‘<a href="https://www.some-domain.com/’ || P3_LINK_ATTRIBUTES || ‘">’

The result is going to end up being something like this:

‘<a href="https://www.some-domain.com/search?search_term=joe+blow‘">’

Then of course, I want this to be displayed as a hyperlink.

I'm sure I'm missing something really basic but I can't get this to display on the form as a hyperlink. I just need to get pointed in the right direction, with the right combination of item types, regions, calculations, etc. Whatever the secret sauce is. Thanks.
