Website link loading about:blank page

Question

<td><a href="http://#trim(website)#" target="_blank">                                    
<cfoutput>#trim(details.webURL)#</cfoutput></a></td>

When clicking on the above link on the UI it just loads an about:blank web page.

The website themselves are stored in the db such as www.example.com

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Are you ready for it?

<cfoutput>
    <a href="http://#trim(website)#" target="_blank">                                    
    #trim(details.webURL)#
</cfoutput>

You had a variable that isn't wrapped in a cfoutput . You are opening a blank link.
