activate the links present in the html documents.

[Ken Ray]

Yogananth,

Well, to load the html page into the field, you do:

  set the htmlText of fld 1 to url ("file:" & pathToFileOnDisk)

This will cause Rev to render the HTML the best that it can. Keep in mind
that Rev can't display all HTML tags, but only things you could normally
have in a field (for example you can't have HTML tables because Rev can't
display tables in a field, but you CAN have font, size, style, image, links,
etc.).

Links should automatically be displayed with a blue underline (or whatever
the "linkColor" is - see the Transcript Dictionary (TD)). Make sure the
field is locked (so you can get mouse events) and then you are able to click
on links. Now all that will happen without scripting is that the link will
change color to its visited state (see "linkVisitedColor" in the TD). In
order to make it activate, you need to write this script in the field or
somewhere in the message passing hierarchy:

on linkClicked pLink
  if pLink is not empty then revGoURL pLink
end linkClicked

In the script above, 'pLink' is the text of whatever is in the href of the
HTML link you clicked.

Hope this helps,
