Detect link in a getPageData

Classic Servoy
1

I have some code which displays a web page via the getpagedata into a text-area - and displays it how I want it ( I amend the html before displaying to the user).

The user needs to copy/paste some data from the page which is all good however if they click on a link within the page (they have no need to do it , its a mistake) then they get a http status 404 error as the link is trying to access the page within the servoy server.

They then need to hit the back button and do a page refresh to return to where they were. Is there a way of preventing/handling/detecting this ? I could go through the html as Iam already amending it and remove all links prior to displaying but I prefer not to do that.

Thanks.

var data = plugins.http.getPageData( page )

Why not? That’s only one line of code:

data = data.replace(/<\/{0,1}a[^>]*>/g, "");

Nice, I have to agree with you … never thought of doing it like that.
