Link in input text field

Question

HI All,

I know this is bit strange question, but please suggest.

I want to create a link on website url content in input type\"text\" field not any other htm

This is how I did it with JavaScript and JQuery. This wraps the entire text field in a hyperlink, so essentially the entire text field is click-able, which may not be the functionality you are looking for. It worked for my purposes though.

The reason I didn't just use a $(nameTextField).click(function(){...}) structure is because the text field I'm using has the disabled attribute set, so click functions aren't fired. That's why I had to wrap the text field in a hyperlink.

    // Make person name a hyperlink to page in new tab
    var nameLink = "/exampleUrl/?initStudentId=$" + studentId;
    $("#studentNameLink").replaceWith($("#studentNameLink").html()); // Unwrap any previously wrapped text fields
    $(nameTextField).wrap(""); // Wrap text field in anchor
    $(nameTextField).css('color', '#326699'); // Make text blue
    $(nameTextField).val(studentName); // Set text field value
