Hello,

The entry in a form is a web address. It is blowing out the page because it is very long. How can I add a hyperlink inside the form view entry field so that it doesn't show the web address, but only show a "link" to the page that is in the field?

In the view, you wrap the field with an anchor tag. e.g., if your Website/URL field is 1185, you'd use:
click here

Ugh, I figured it would interpret the HTML. I'll use {} instead of .

<p>Rob, you need to use HTM Entity code if you want the angle brackets to display.</p>
