cfpdformparam funny output-help

hi all

so far, i am having fun with the new great cfpdform tags. What I ma stuck on something that may look simple but it is not working:

<cfpdformparam name="link_field" value="<a href='view.cfm?request_id=#request_id#'>#request_id#</a>">

link_field is the name of the filed i have in the pdf file and the value is what I am passing which is an html link.

When I open the pdf file in a browser, the filed "link_field" value shows as <a href='view.cfm?request_id=#request_id#'>#request_id#</a> and it is not like a link I can click on.

what do I need to do here?

thanks for any help,

ISM

1. Make sure your field in the form is set up for rich text instead of regular text.

2. Your HTML needs to have

tags.

3. I never got it to work properly either

i tried the rich text option but still no luck. i got the image working dynamically so this one should work as well. it looks easy but doesn't work:-)

Does it get fixed when you replace view.cfm with the full URL, http://blahblahblah.com/view.cfm?
