URL from an "Email a Page" is an inactive hyperlink

[MrCorbeaux]

My "Email a Webpage" form works find except when the end user receives the email, the URL is text only and not a hyperlink.

The "Email a Page" form calls the URL from the previous page using:
<input type="hidden" name="URL" value="<%= Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")%>">

The action page uses CDOsys to send the email: My abridged code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<% 
strFrom = Request.Form("FromEmail")
strFromName = Request.Form("FromName")
 
Set cdoMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message") 
Set cdoCON = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration") 
Set cdoMail.Configuration = cdoCON 
 
cdoMail.From = strFrom
cdoMail.Subject = "Article Feedback"
cdoMail.HTMLBody = vbCRLF & "<strong>Feedback has been submitted on the article below:</strong>" & "<br />"_ 
  & Trim(Request.Form("URL"))
 
  With cdoMail 
         Set cdoMail.Configuration = cdoCON 
        .From = Request.Form("FromEmail")
        . Sender = "[e-mail]"
        .To = "[e-mail]"
        .Subject ="Article Feedback"
        '.HTMLBody = Body
        'CDONTSMail.BodyFormat=0
        'CDONTSMail.MailFormat=0
        .Send 
    End With 
 
Set cdoMail = Nothing 
Set cdoCON = Nothing 
%>  

What am I missing from my cdoMail.HTMLBody?

Thank you.

You are missing the code for the hyperlink.

dim q
q = chr(34)
cdoMail.HTMLBody = vbCRLF & "<strong>Feedback has been submitted on the article below:</strong>" & "<br />"_ 
  & "<a href=" & q & Trim(Request.Form("URL")) & q & ">" & Trim(Request.Form("URL")) & "</a>

Let me know if this helps.
