I did not come up with a direct way to do this. I even spent some time with a reflector to look at the .Net assemblies to see if there was an undocumented method.
For my immediate need, I was simply checking to see if the link had been assigned a value. I was able to use conditional blocks for mine. This issue has come up in other situations though. I wish the GetHtml() method of the element returned the URL when the link had been assigned a URL.

To workaround the situation in the past we've had to create a dedicated anchor (for internal links) and a dedicated standard field to handle external links. The logic then checks if the external link standard field is null to use the internal link reference. Not the most elegant choice but until RD/OT fix the issue we couldn't think of any other options (though i think this issue should be known of for at least a year now). I'd be very interested if you can come up with any other workarounds. - Morgan On Mar 30, 3:27 am, Chad Killingsworth <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone know of a way using Render Tags to get the value of an > anchor that has been assigned a Url? > > Chad Killingsworth > Assistant Director of Web & New Media > Missouri State University -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
