    Text File and Links

    Is there any way to load an external text file and have words in it link, something along the lines of using <a href= but that doesn't seem to work!

    Thanks

    Yes! You would use a simple "a href..." tag as described here:

    Do you really think I would propose something that doesn't work, and on top of that, refer you to MM's site that clearly explains it?

    This works marvelously well for me... Even underlines "home depot"!

    loadText=<*A HREF="http://www.homedepot.com/"><*U>Home Depot<*/U><*/A>

    Remove the "*" at the beginning of tags!
