How do I enter a real hyperlink?

[Legacy 98055]

Since the upgrade, I can no longer enter a standard HTML link in my post. I can use the editor's hyperlink function, but without the friendly name (text). It will only show the URL. Any way for me to do this?

Thanks...

Have you tried the URL tags?

Hi Norie!

Thanks for the simple answer...

No problem.

Sorry I couldn't actually post the code - the board kept converting it to a hyperlink.

I have always tried to post using HTML but now all of my pre-upgrade posts are a mess. I'll just stick with BB Code from now on. Thanks again. Good to hear from you...

Hi Tom

It can also be done assuming you don't use the full WYSIWYG editor mode: then you should be able to enter hyperlink references as per usual. There is a toggle button in the top right of the reply window that permits you to switch modes.

Hi Richard. Thanks for jumping in...

Here's my problem. I can get the HTML to render. However, the copy to clipboard function that always worked in the past does not work any longer. 1 is the actual posted code. 2 is the result of copying to the clipboard. 3 is the way it used to work. The actual post is in my next reply...

Well... It worked in the test forum... Should I scrap using HTML in favor of BB Code?

Hiya Tom,

JFYI, HTML is not (or at least was not, ain't tested recently) enabled in all forums.

Hi Greg. Thanks for the reply. I can indeed post my links in the questions forum which is good enough for me... Thanks for the help guys.

One more question. This little bit of embedded script used to allow a copy to the clipboard by parsing out some board idiosynchrocies...

<button onclick='document.all("529200893548136").value=document.all("529200893548136").value.replace(/<br \/>\s\s/g,"");document.all("529200893548136").value=document.all("529200893548136").value.replace(/<br \/>/g,"");window.clipboardData.setData("Text",document.all("529200893548136").value);'>Copy to Clipboard</BUTTON>

It is copying the formatted text from a hidden TEXTAREA control.
It still works but copies all of the code in one line as if there are not any linebreaks... Any thoughts?
