Your best bet is to use a regex or other string manipulation to detect the hyperlink. You can add HTML using < and > in place of < and >, respectively. That will allow you to create a hyperlink (<a href="...">) in the Calendar UI, which would also serve as your markers for find/replace (being careful not to allow unexpected HTML to be output, since that might allow an XSS attack). I'm not sure if outputting URLs constructed this way in the Calendar UI is something we officially support or not, though. -- Trevor Johns --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
