I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but when you do a search of the database with URLs in them, and you come up with a keyword in the URL, it adds the <B></B> tags in the URL.

For instance, in our database, I search for "Rhode" and it brings up a record for "Jeff Rhode". It bolds "Rhode" and also adds the <B></B> tags in the URL:

http://www.coco.cc.az.us/~j<B>rhode</B>/

This, of course, causes an error. Is there a way to clean up the code so that the URL field will NOT be bolded if the keyword is found in it? (I do want to maintain the bolded text for other fields...nice feature of this program.)

Feel free to take a look at our Employee Directory (using DBMan) at:

Use the following information to access the

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

What you can do is add a line that will take out the bolding from the URL.

Assuming you have a field called URL, just after

my (%rec) = @_;

add

$rec{'URL'} =~ s/<?.B>//g;

Thanks! It worked like a charm!

I assume that this could be also used for
the email link.

I will try it.

Yep. Any time the bold tags might appear where you don't want them to.
