Hotlink enabler
Hi: I am creating a resource so that teachers can enter lesson plans on dbman, and they also need to enter URL's. We want the URLs to be linked to a <a href="url"> PARTICULAR </a> word. It is impossible to ask the teachers to learn html. The only way I can think of doing it is for them to have a TEXTAREA where they enter the text and some pseudo-html (like: Go to the <link1>Scholastic Website</link1> and complete the math game).

Then I can have TEXTFIELDS for link1, link2, etc. When the record is viewed, it will display the linked text and no ugly url will have to be displayed.

I have minimal perl experience and was wondering if someone could help me with developing the snippet of code needed to accomplish such a task. Smile
