The interpreter uses the character after the % (actually that's a lie, there are a set of optional things that may come between the % and the conversion type, see http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operationsfor details) to determine if it's a string (%s) an integer (%d), etc. Since you say active_key is a string, that line should be: 'Click <a href="http://example.com/join/%s/";>here</a> to authenticate.' % active_key, Karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
