    When I put the html "target" code for a hyperlink into my form, the coding completely disappears and only leaves the visible link text behind with no link. What's going on? Are hyperlinks not allowed anymore?

    You can use the TEXT field (found in Form Tools) to add read-only text with links to your form.

    Write the desired text,highlight it, the link icon will become active, click on it and the Insert/edit link screen will pop up, fill in the blanks.

    If you still have issues with adding hyperlinks to your form I would suggest to clear your form cache

    Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    It is the label for a text box. There aren't any orange buttons next to the settings button.

    When adding a hyperlink to a label it is usually stripped out when you try to edit the label again hence the reason it is stripped out.

    Since the labels were not originally designer to take HTML code after adding the link do not edit the label again, it might appear black in the browser but on preview it will show as a normal hyperlink.

     

    The text element my colleague is referring to allow you to enter normal HTML code without any stripping occurring, you can use this instead of modifying the labels to have hyperlinks

    Thank you very much, Sammy. Quite strange, but doing it this way makes it work.
