I have a contact email address in my page layout. I want to make that link clickable, but doesn't work in the href tag. What is the best way to get this to work in the page layout? Do I need to use jquery for this, we are trying to avoid that but if its my only option I guess Ill need to go that route.

if I'm not wrong you can try to use SPContext.Current.Item in the page layout like this

<a href='<%= SPContext.Current.Item["filedName"] ?? "/" %>'>Link</a>

  • Can you store your data as a string with tag "a" in you field and use this line of code <SharePoint:FieldValue id="someid" FieldName="FieldName" runat="server"/>?

  • I found this post. In this post the link is built for Lookup field. I think that it should work for your field too.
