MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2007Hyperlinks on a form cause errors
In InfoPath 2003 I have modified the view1.xsl file to create a Table of Contents at the top of a quite lengthy form. I placed the following anchor at the top of the form: <a href="Brief Description">Brief Description</a> and added the following tag above the Brief Description section: <a name="Brief Description"></a> The links work perfectly, the problem is that after I use the links I start to get the following error when I start trying to make changes to the data. For example if I do a Edit/Find a couple of times I get the error: "InfoPath has encountered an error. The operation failed" Has anyone been successful in adding links to their forms? InfoPath (at least v2003) notoriously adds http:// to the start of hyperlinks if you do not already have a protocol specified.  SignatureGreg Collins [Microsoft MVP] Visit Braintrove ( http://www.braintrove.com ) Visit InfoPathDev ( http://www.InfoPathDev.com ) I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by your response. Are you saying that because of the way that InfoPath handles hyperlinks that what I am trying to do is not possible? I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do with your hyperlinks. But in your example you had: <a href="Brief Description">Brief Description</a> InfoPath (at least v2003, not sure about v2007) would then convert this to: <a href="http://Brief Description">Brief Description</a> Does that make sense? This is because it is expecting a valid URL, which means that it needs a protocol. The default protocol is http. I've had situations where I've wanted to use relative, rather than absolute links, and I've had to manually edit the .xml file afterward to remove the http:// that InfoPath added.
