Hi All,

I have been trying to get a URL link to show up in an appointment. If I
just use the textdescription in Webdav with an example value of
http://tririga.com the value does not even show up as a hyperlink.......
which would be acceptable to us. Strangely enough though when I submit this
appointment to an attendee his accepted calendar meeting does show the
hyperlink. Can I get a hyperlink to show on the organizers textdescription ?
........ What I am optimally looking for is to have a hyperlink with a name
that referes to a link.......I tried to use the following:
<mail:htmldescription> <link
href='http://tririga.com'>TRIRIGA Appt</link> </mail:htmldescription>
..........no luck it just puts the TRIRIGA Appt text with no link. Has
anyone had any luck doing this ?

Thanks,

Ed

Are you escaping the angled brackets with < and > ?

Thanks for responding Lee..... yes I am using the character escape sequences.
They disappear when I cut and pasted into the original post. Here is the
actual code snippet....any ideas ?

<mail:htmldescription><link
href='http://tririga.com'>TRIRIGA Appt</link>
</mail:htmldescription>

Sorry, I can't tell from that if you are escaping the angled brackets.
Maybe your newsreader is unescaping the characters. Anyway, you need
to use something like this (I will use <a> , are you sure <link> is
appropriate? I think it only works within <head/> .):

<mail:htmldescription>
<a href='http://tririga.com'>TRIRIGA Appt</a>
</mail:htmldescription>

I just read something about the <link> tag. I don't think you want to
use it, try <a> instead. Remember to use the < and > HTML
entities.

Hi Lee,

So I did you the <a> tag as in:

mail:htmldescription><a
href='http://tririga.com'>TRIRIGA Appt</a
/mail:htmldescription

Here are the results I am seeing in the organizers appointment:

TRIRIGA Appt <http://tririga.com

Some mail clients (I know Outlook does) do this to show you exactly where
the link leads to, so that you don't see a link saying something like
www.paypal.com but actually takes you to www.stealmycreditcarddetails.com .
I don't think there's any way that you can change the appearance. The <a
href> you have supplied is plain enough, I don't think you can tweak it in
any way. What are you opening the appointment in, Outlook or OWA (or
something else)?

I was hoping to see the TRIRIGA Appt underlined as a hyperlink and not see
the http://tririga.com. Also as with http://tririga.com is not a hyperlink
and again what is strange is that if I send this meeting requests to the
recipients the http://tririga.com is underlined on the recpients calendar
meeting. The orginal organizers meeting do not show any hyperlink at all. By
the way I am using the proper special chars for the greater and less then
symbols.... they are just getting translated on this BBS. Any other
suggestions ? ....Thanks so much for all your in put.

but got the following results:

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the explanation........it does makes sense that the actual link
is shown....for security reasons. The last issue I have is that the link
does not show up in OWA, its just shows up as plain test. In Outlook it
shows up ok. It also strangely shows up in OWA on the attendees calendar
after its been submitted........so I'm not sure why the link does not show up
in the organizers calendar, which is were we need it to be. Right now we are
having people cut and paste the url........ any ideas why ? .

I can't explain that, I'm afraid. If you have an appointment that shows a
link in OWA okay, then you could use Exchange Explorer to examine the
htmldescription field, and see if it contains anything special.
