href link won't render properly when I put it in custom field's "field help" box
August 18, 2009, 10:11:45 pm
Hi All,
I added this link to the "field help" box inside a "custom field":

I have read the <a href="http://www.lostvalley.org/community/agreements/">Community Agreements</a> and agree to the terms.

And it renders like this:
http://www.lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/custom_fields.jpghttp://www.lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/custom_fields_should.png

and it doesn't render the link the way it should. Instead it looks like this:
http://www.lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/custom_field_preview.jpg

When it should look like this (i got it to look right once I forget what I changed but the link still didn't point to the right place):
http://www.lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/custom_fields_should.png

Is this a bug or am I just making a simple mistake? any help would be much appreciated.
thx,

Hi Yoshida,

thx for giving it a try. I went to the demo and ran into new problems.

Here's the info I entered:
http://lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/new_field_demo.png

and here's the error message I got:
http://lostvalley.org/sites/default/files/new_field_error.png

can I not put html code in the "field help" box?

edit: okay so it turns out what was causing the problem was the multiple choice option I'd made. I fixed it by choosing one that someone that worked here before me had made for the waiver liability agreement. So I must not have used the proper format for the multiple choice options. Oh well, it works now thx for the help.
