Hyperlink Properties

I have a textbox on a form which has hyperlink as the data type.

The default format for a hyperlink is a file or web link. Is it possible
change the default to an email address for all records without the need to
select hyperlink/edit hyperlink/select email address for every record?

TIA

There's no setting for the default type.

Personally, I gave up using a Hyperlink type for storing email addresses. I
find it easier to use a Text type field, and then use the properties and
events of the text box to make it look and behave like a link.

Hi, I am trying to put a hyperlink to a .cer (certificate) file on a form. Normally (on a ,htm page) when the user clicks on the hyperlink, the file is not recognized and the user is given the option to save the file. This is the desired result. However, when I put the hyperlink on a webform, the file is opened and it's binary contents are displayed on the screen. Does anyone know why this happens? The hyperlink is as follows:

I am using the ImageUrl property of the HyperLink control. My image is large, so I am setting the width/height attributes, but when it renders the width/height attributes are in the <atag rather than the <imgtag, therefore not making the image the size I want. I can obviously place an Image control inside the HyperLink, but the HyperLink was obviously intended to render both. Is there a way around this without using multiple controls?...
