Question

I've a text area where I'm putting in the header. In header I want to show a link. One component of the link is base64 encoded. I've tried to do this using

You can't do this in HTML, you'll need a javascript function for base64 encoding. Check this out: http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html
