The database data is in excel, but I need to transfer the hyperlinks to the results page (they're unique for each line of data). The links are working in Excel, but not on my website's results page. If I'm not mistaken, I need to change the HTML code of the hyperlink to work with Pearl to the following code: CODE <a href="[[weblink]]">Web Link</a> but Excel doesn't seem to accept Perl scripts and thinks the link is a "mailto:" link. Does anyone know if this possible or how I can get round this? Thanks in advance.
