Hyperlink for one text field to another text field

[sandeep.bheemireddy]

Hi

My case here

I have a text field lets say it as 'A'. And another text field , lets say it as 'B'. The text field B is basically a URL to a page(it means the whole db column has different URL's). Now how do I add hyperlink to text field 'A' to 'B'?

Just but B as a hyperlink expression for text field A.

Hi,

You need to create a local anchor hyperlink in your report:

• for the element 'B' - set an Anchor Name Expression; make sure this expression is valid (some output formats don't accept spaces, for instance) and generates unique results per report (pay special attention when the element 'B' is placed in a detail band that will repeat itself at runtime)
• for the element 'A' - set the Hyperlink type attribute to 'LocalAnchor' and choose the same expression for Hyperlink Anchor Expression as in the Anchor Name Expression for the textfield 'B'

An example related to hyperlinks in JasperReports is available here.

I hope this helps,
