hyperlinking to a new page

[Gmansky]

Hi,

I have the following code. Basically, I just want to create a way to show
the detail of the record to a new page. I knew it is relatively simple but
I am a little bit lost. It doesn't seem to send the 'recID' to the new page
hyperlink. What am I missing?

<asp:Repeater id="BookRepeater" runat="server"
OnItemCommand="BookRepeater_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<font face="Arial" size="2"> <a
href="http://localhost/showdetails.aspx?recID="&DbReader.Reader('record') .To
String()>
<%#Container.DataItem("Record")%></a>
</font></td>
<td>
<font face="Arial" size="2"><%#Container.DataItem("Author")%>
</font></td>
<td>
<font face="Arial" size="2"><%#Container.DataItem("Title")%>
</font></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>

Thanks,
George

You have two options

1.) Replace <a
href="http://localhost/showdetails.aspx?recID="&DbReader.Reader('record') .To
String()>
with
<a href='http://localhost/showdetails.aspx?recID=<%#
Container.DataItem("Record").ToString() %>'>

or
2.) Change the link to a server control and set the href attribute
programmatically.

and all should work as expected
