Hyperlink within info-window using Attribute as link text

MicahWilliamson — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:51:30 GMT

Well the title really says it all,

I currently have a infowindow that pops up after a query. I also currently have a working URL link within the attributes of that query.

The problem is that i want to combine two lines of the info window. I want to make the returned attribute a hyperlink.

Here is part of my infowindow code:

 + " County Board District: " + attr.CO_BOARD
 + " Board Member: " + attr.BRD_NAM
 + " <a href=" + attr.URL + " target=_blank ;'>Meet Your Board Member</a>"

the link works fine but instead of "Meet Your Board Member" as the link text, i want it to be the attr.BRD_NAM

seems easy enough, but everything is different when you're working within the confines of JavaScript

any suggestions would be helpful and attempted.
If i figure it out before i get an answer, i'll post my findings.

thanks.

ESRI tech support supplied me with the correct syntax:

 //construct infowindow title and content
 var attr = feature.attributes;
 var title = attr.COUNTY_BRD;
 var content = " County Offices"
 + " County Board District: " + attr.CO_BOARD
+" Board Member: <a href=" + attr.URL + " target=_blank ;'>"+ attr.BRD_NAM+"</a>"

here the URL field has the entire web address for that board member (no domains )
and BRD_NAM is the county board member's name.

So the result is dynamic, changing with each board member's district.

*note the "attr" variable simply shortens the feature.attributes call so i don't have to type it out each time.
