Hi,

I'm developing a website in vb2005 (DOTNET). But I have to do something
which can't be achieved with just controls. Ok here is what I want.

I need to understand how I can write a sentence with multiple hyperlinks
like:

this RULE for this PERSON

what i want is that i can hyper link these uppercase words. And if possible:
how can it be done in VS2005.

Thanx

Ton

No, you're developing a site _with_ VB, but your finished site will be
_in_ HTML, because that's what the web uses and that's all that the
user's browser gets to receive.[*]

So this is a purely HTML problem. Read HTML references and write HTML
to solve it.

Then, as a later step, work on the VB that generates this HTML. But
it's the HTML that matters and what you need to focus on.


As freemont has already answered, the HTML looks something like this:

<p>this <a href="#" >RULE</a> for this <a href="#" >PERSON</a></
p>

The <a> element to create a link is an inline element, which allows
you to put several of them inside one overal block element (the <p>
here). There's no restriction that makes links appear as stand-alone
blocks, and you should beware of any tools that restrict or encourage
you to thinking that way.

[*] Possibly, CSS & JavaScript too, maybe even Flash - but NEVER
server-side VB. Once your server-side code has generated the content,
it's that content that's the crucial part, not how you did it.

And, of course, if you have a lot of these and you need to bring them
together, the information, having no real structure of its own, can be
fashioned into the structure of a *table*.

It is entirely possible that the site is developed in VB. I have
seen sites that use client-side VB and are unusable without it.

No way, tables are really bad! Never use tables!

No, never use tables. Especially if you have, say 50 links to distribute
to 50 different people. It does not matter if it is very convenient to
users. Just don't do it! The priesthood has spoken.

There's no such critter as "client-side VB". Presumably you mean
"client-side VBScript", but that's quite a different beast and more
similar to client-side JavaScript. It's not the VB you'd be using here
with .NET

The same rule applies though. This is _NOT_ the language in which
you're writing the server-side code. Working effectively needs you to
keep both quite separate in your mind.

Ed, I am planning a small re-education camp to counter the church on
this one. It will be in a thread I hope you don't hate as much as the
one about paragraphs. <g>
