Hello Team

I have the following xml popup file:
===========================================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
 <title>{NAME}</title>
 <precision> </precision>
 <description>
 <![CDATA[Name:{NAME} Type: {TYPE} <a href='../survey/images/{DATA_SRCE}' target='_blank'>Click Here to View County Data Sheet</a> ]]>
 <![CDATA[ <a href='{DATA_SRCE}' target='_blank'>Click Here to View NGS Data Sheet</a>]]>
 </description>
 <fields>
 <field name="NAME"/>
 <field name="TYPE"/>
 </fields>
 <showattachments>true</showattachments>
</configuration>
===============================================

I would like to display only one link instead of two and it will depends on the value of the "Name" field.. any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Nasif,

Remove one of your CDATA tags and place name in the href area:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
<title>{NAME}</title>
<precision> </precision>
<description>
<![CDATA[<a href='{NAME}' target='_blank'>Click Here</a>]]>
</description>
<fields>
<field name="NAME"/>
<field name="TYPE"/>
</fields>
<showattachments>true</showattachments>
</configuration>

Regards

Anthony

Nasif,

Ok I see what you are trying to do my misunderstanding. The problem your are going to have is I don't think you can use scripting (i.e. JavaScript) inside the CDATA in the config file so you have no way creating a conditional statement on the value of the name field.

I would say this cannot be achieved using the popup config files, unless anyone out there can has got scripting to work in the popup config?

Sorry

Anthony
