How do I creat a simple hyperlink?

I figured this would be easy, but I can't find out how to make a static text field a hyperlink to a hard-coded website. Thanks

Hi,

 

In iReport:

 

Right-click the field you want to have as a hyperlink.

Select Element Properties.

Click Hyperlink.

When I right click the static text field, there isn't an "Element properties". I see "Custom element properties" but I don't think that's what I'm looking for... thanks

As far as I know only images, text fields (not static ones) and charts are the only elements that support hyperlinks.

So I can't even create a static hyperlink??

Here are the steps:

 

- Create a field

- Right click on the field and click "Edit Expression"

- Replace the value $F{Field} with "Sample Text"

- Click Apply

- Right click on the field again and click properties

- Click on the Hyperlink tab

- Click on the Reference Tab and enter the link as a String

Thanks, that's an interesting idea to work around the idea that it has to be a field to be a hyperlink.

 

However, when I do that, my report won't run...
