<a> html tag used for hyperlink doesn't work in Jasper Report.

I want to make one word of a sentence as a hyperlink. I have written it as : Click on our <a href="http://www.google.co.in"> website </a> to know the details. The markup property of the text field is also selected as "html". But the hyperlink is not created. Please help.

• The htm markup seems to be extremely limited. I have only found that it works for very basic html formating such as <i> and <b> tags. I do not think anchors or lists or any 'fancier' markup with do anything.

• The HTML markups are only intended for the purpose of styling a text field. You are looking for the "Hyperlink" option. It doesn't work for static text fields though, but when you right click on a text field you should find the item "Hyperlink" in the context menu. This allows you to link the field to an anchor, another report or a webpage.
