Hi,

The widget is working fine but I am having trouble getting the Link field to display the link as a clickable hyperlink.  Currently the info pop window only displays the link as text and requires the user to copy and paste it into a browser.  Is there anyway I can have the pop up window display it as a hyperlink?

Thanks for the help!

HERSH,

   The viewer team as never finished adding link support into the Simple Info Widget as of 2.2. Maybe it was completed in 2.3 but I don't remember seeing this fixed when I was beta testing 2.3.

Thanks for the response.

Can you recommend an info pop up widget that does support hyperlinks?  I am not displaying too much data...just a couple of field attributes and a hyperlink.  Also, if I can use alias names for some of the fields that would also be great.

Thanks again.

Hersh,

   This is by no means simple like the simple info window but it does hyperlinks and aliases

Another alternative is to not use the SimpleInfoWin widget at all.  The new pop-up windows that are part of the core API supports hyperlinks and aliases (and more).

how can I do a simple hyperlink using the popup window? I see I can add an anchor in the description tag but then my fields don't display. I don't see a linkfield tag in the documentation.

thanks.
