SQL-Server-2012

I have a MSSQL table, in a field I had inserted my messages (ex:Have a good day) with external website link to Google. while I bind the data in my html table like this (have a good day www.google.com) values are shown into view, it is working fine, but while I click on that external web linkGoogle. it doesn't navigate google page.

I had tried in SQL server with Html different type to link tags, what are that tag I had put into database, those tag also get visible alone with message and link.

Solution 1

Use HtmlEncode to encode and store HTML in database and HtmlDecode to decode the encoded HTML retrieved from the database. Detail in:HtmlEncode and HtmlDecode[^]
As for creating hyperlink in HTML, check this out: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp[^]

You have to build hyperlink in your front end using the message like this.

<a href="http://www.google.com" targer="_blank">have a good day www.google.com</a>
