I have added an adaptive card displaying list of meetings scheduled with the link to the meeting. I want the link in the list to be clickable. With Action.OpenUrl we can only get a button launches the given URL in an external web browser. But in my case, I have list of meetings with the link that needs to be clickable.
Adaptive Cards use a form of "Markdown" syntax (similar to here on stack overflow) and they include the ability to have a url, just with the markdown syntax. You can see here for more, including things like bold and italics. Basically, you encode your link like this [name for the link] (http://the.url.com), but notice I had a space between "]" and "(", which is just to show the text nicely here in the answer, otherwise stack overflow would show my sample as a link! It should actually be: link](http. See the link I sent for more though, if it's still not clear.

This is weird!
I have set up a form using RapidMailer, and on an external site it works fine. (Just to complicate matters, the form is within a <div> as I display a background image, and then use the <div> to position the signup box halfway down the page)
But ...
Put it within an Facebook (Thunderpenny) StaticHTML page, (which I think is <iframe>?) and whilst I can enter name/email, and the submit button shows mouse up/mouse down events, it just won't submit.
I tried adding "pointer-event:auto" to the div so that it was to the fore, but no go. And no good asking the app creator as I doubt I'll get a response. Anyone any ideas? (** I could include page code, but it's 90% links to external js files Rapidmailer sets up)
Is it 'cos I got a <div> within an <iframe>? Do I need to add an <object> to the code somewhere???
It turns out that for some reason, the HTML code cannot find / use the javascripts even with direct URL's. I strongly suspect it's to do with "cross browser" limitations. In otherwords, the StaticHTML <iframe> is on one server, and the HTML code is trying to access javascript on a second server. And as the RapidMailer script is using three scripts direct from jquery.com, it's difficult to know what can be eliminated as they all contain error trapping routines.
In the end, I had to add a direct link to a status update on the Facebook page, and redirect it to the signup form on my blog. I then pinned the post the top. Alas, now for some reason it won't display a graphic with the link, and instead insists on showing the URL itself! Oh well!
Now this is very tricky thing. I have recently seen that many blogs do have facebook comment plugins where anyone can comment and place relevant links.
But the problem is those links are in text and are not hyperlink or you can say not clickable.
I found here in this article post right down you can see a facebook comment plugin, there you can see a text link is a hyperlink.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/25/black-friday-apple-deals-2014_n_6211754.html
Now my question how did that user do that? i mean from text to hyperlink. Becz normally it won't happen.
I have searched lot of stuff in google but i am not able to get the correct method.
The user doesn't make something that looks like a hyper-link display as a hyper-link, the webpage does!
What happens is that the scripting behind the page is using a reg is looking for a regular expression to pattern match URLs in the comments. When a match is found it'll be displayed as a hyper-link, if it doesn't match the regex it just displays as flat text instead of a hyper-link This either built into the Facebook comment plug-in or the website itself.
When text gets passed to HTML it has no way of telling what is and is not a link However if you process it through a script to identify links as being links you can tell it to display them as hyper-links rather than just plain text.
A great example/explanation of this is over at http://regexr.com/39i0i
Tl;Dr
Users don't make it happen, the plug-in/webpage make it happen.
With the exception of plug ins that require you use link tags, in the case of the page you linked though that is all that version of the Facebook plugin.
I'm trying to extract internal links from wikipedia pages. This is the query I'm using
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&format=xml&plnamespace=0&pllimit=max&titles=pageTitle
However, the result does not reflect what's on the wiki page. Take for example a random article here. There are only a dozen of links on this page. However, when I make the query,
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&format=xml&plnamespace=0&pllimit=max&titles=Von_Mises%E2%80%93Fisher_distribution
I got back 187 links. I guess the API might has a database of all the links that have ever added to the page including all the revisions. Is that the case? How can I get the links from only the last revision?
The database has the correct list of the links in the current version of the articles. All the links you get from the API are in fact in the article. However, most of them are hidden in the (twice collapsed) navigation box at the bottom (scroll to the bottom, click "show" on the blue bar, then click "show" on the additional blue bars you now see).
Note that these links are on the page, but not defined in the wikitext - they come from the {{ProbDistributions}} navigation template (and the template that template in turn includes).
Sadly, there is no good way to list only the links that are directly/explicitly defined on a page, since template substitution happens before the actual parsing of the wiki syntax.
We have a many HTML forms in our application. Corresponding link to help documentation which is prepared by the content team for each page is given at the top of the page. But this does not make sense for blind people and even much for regular users as each time they need to go to the link which opens a separate page.
How can I display help text for the input boxes with content present in different page which is relevant to the current input ?
For visually challenged users I can use "aria-required" and "aria-describedby" flags if there is a way to link to that documentation.
The help text really should be on the same page as the form. You can always use an accordion or some other method to collapse or show/hide the docs.
If the content really does have to live at a separate URL, I suppose you could make an AJAX request to the corresponding HTML page to pull the content in upon user request for it, but make sure to use ARIA Live Regions so users of assistive technology will know that the new content has been loaded.

I have a pptx file, complete with working links which i would now like to convert to html. The idea really is to convert the pptx file into a website.
I am using Power Point 2010. I got some tips on how to do this conversion
# http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980553 and a tool which does exactly the same thing
# http://www.ultrashareware.com/Ultra-PPT-To-HTML-Converter.htm
I am able to get an html version,but the links do not work. Navigation is only possible by clicking the slide number created on the left pane of the created html frame.
My questions
1. How do i get the links on the html page to work as they did in the pptx
2. The main page is divided into 2 frames, the left showing the slide numbers. How do i get rid of the left frame entirely?
Thank you
Sameer
If you're interested in writing it yourself, it's a fairly substantial undertaking. The most direct method is to export an image of each slide and put that into the resulting HTML with an IMG tag. You'd also need to construct an image map and include in it each of the hyperlink URLs from the slide, along with coordinates normalized from PPT's slide size to the size of the image you're adding to the HTML. Or work out how to put links in DIVs atop the image.
If you're looking for an immediately available commercial add-in that gives you more control over the appearance of the HTML, I've written one. There's more info and a free demo at http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/
I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it, but it might be best not to clutter SO with support chat. There's a Contact link on each page of the pptools site; best to use that to get in touch, if you wish.
