Need help with hyperlink syntax in ASP
I'm trying to insert a hyperlink in the following line, but I can't get the syntax right. I need a hyperlink to open in a new page inserted where the text "Hyperlink" is below:
if showproductid=TRUE then print "<div class=""detailid""><strong>" & xxPrId & ":</strong> <span itemprop=""productID"">" & rs("pID") & "Hyperlink"&"</span></div>"
if showproductid=TRUE then print "<div class=""detailid""><strong>" & xxPrId & ":</strong> <span itemprop=""productID"">" & rs("pID") & "Hyperlink"&"</span></div>"

<div class="123><strong>abc</strong> <span itemprop="xyz"><a href="789">789</a> </span></div>
