Hi there,

I'm using SQLyog v5.19.

I'd like to insert a weblink to download a manual. I have a column set up called "Download". I'd like to have the text "Download" showing in the results table, but when you click on "Download", a pop up window appears with the manual - each manual is a large file and has to be split into seperate sections, so a pop up indow has to appear and the user downloads the seperate sections of the manual.

How do I go about doing this?

Any suggestions are much appreciated, thank you

You cannot do this with a 'pure' database client like SQLyog. It is NOT a browser! It simply dispays the content of the database!

This you should be code in HTML (or some HTML preprocessor language like PHP, ASP etc.). Still however you as the admin can use SQLyog for managing the database.

Is the end user using SQLyog as well?

Hi,

No, the end user will be viewing the results in an HTML table:

Thanks fo ryour reply,

Can anyone help?

I think nobody understands your problem!
Could you consider to explain better?



To insert a weblink as I understand you do like this (in HTML)

for example



It makes no difference if this is hardcoded in a webpage or if the webpage gets its content from a database.

Hi, I'm sorry if my explanation's bad!

If you take a look at:

I want to do the same thing, have a field in the database to link to a pop-up window with an option to download the manual from inside the pop-up.

Does this explain better? I hope so!

Thanks for your help,

Katherine

to create a link like this the HTML is like





Every browser has an option to display the source of a webiste. It is normally in the 'edit' menu. Try this with the page that you refer to here (and search for 'Download')!
