Using HREF in a report

[Sergey]

I made custom report.
The query for a report is "like":

select '<a HREF=http://www.google.ca>Google It</a>'  as go_link from dual;

Report is going fine except - the link does not work at all

When I clicked a link it failed with unexpected error:
Cannot open file "Crogram Files\PLSQL Developer\http:\www.google.ca". The filename, directory name, or volume label sysntax is incorrect.

HTML source is good. It works if I save it on disk as File.htm

I want to have links in my report.

Do you solution in mine case?

Thank you, Sergey
My version is: 7.1.4.1390

This does indeed not seem to work from within the Report Window. I do not immediately have a solution, but we'll look into this.

Thank you very much for help!
It will be good to have this feature working!

Thank you, Sergey

It seems to work if you put the proper double-quotes around the URL, i.e.,

select 'Google It' as go_link from dual;

 

[Sergey]

I tried it, I also tried to use javascript:window.open, played with TARGET="_blank", but it does not work for me.

Is it work for you?

if you want, you can try it:
1. File-> New-> Report window
2. Paste the query
3. Execute (F8)
4. Click on the link

Thank you, Sergey

1. Go to Tools->Preferences->Options
2. Disable "Use internal HTML viewer".
3. Restart PLSD
4. Run your report, with or without double quotes. This should work now.
