Pass thru html in view column

I don’t know how to make it do pass thru html in a column in a view.

I click on the View, then I click on Column Value. What’s currently there is this:

ApplicantsLastName + ", " + ApplicantsFirstName

I need that to be an tag that will open in a new window that edits the document.

I know I’m being an idiot here. Please tell me exactly what to type. (The other views open in a new window already, but this one won’t even though I’ve got the target frame (single click) set to “_blank”)

Try the view column property “Show values in this column as link”.

I want it to open in a new window and it won’t. How do I make it open in a new window? I don’t see anything different between this view and the views that do open in a new window. Someone suggested that I just write the HTML myself, but I don’t know how to make that happen. I know to put square brackets around it, but when I just experimented with putting square brackets around what’s there now, which is:

ApplicantsLastName + ", " + ApplicantsFirstName

it wouldn’t even take it.

" [ <a href=… target='_blank>" + ApplicantsLastName + ", " + ApplicantsFirstName + “ ]”

Now it comes up on my webpage like this:

Sorry, forgot to mention that originally: Square brackets only work to indicate pass-through HTML, when the opening bracket is directly followed by any tag (starting with an angle bracket). Occasionally (if you do not want to create a link), you’ll have to put in a span or div just to make it happen).

Include your text into brackets “[” and “]” ie:

" [ " + ApplicantsLastName + ", " + ApplicantsFirstName + “ ]”
