    Having an issue with the mobile app on Android. URLs give an error of try again. I want to try a formula rich text field to point to a URL field in the record the button is located. 

    I found this in the Magic Buttons App

    "<a class=\"Vibrant Success\" href=\"http://quickbase.com/webinars/\">16B. Go to some URL</a>"

    Trying to point this to the field in the record that contains the URL I need to visit when pressed.

    Try this

    var text URL = [my url field];
    var text Words = "Words to click";

    <a class='Vibrant Success'" & " a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"


    // in place of the word Success

    also try

    Danger (which gives red)
    Snowy (which gives white)
    Alert ( which gives yellow)
    Primary and Success both give blue

    What if you needed it to open in a new tab? I know to use Target="_blank", but not sure where to put it.

    It gives an error at the _ part right before the word blank

    var text URL = [Link To Project];
    var text Words = "Words to click";

    <a 'target=_blank' class='Vibrant Success'" & " a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"
    //"<a class='Vibrant Success'" & " a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

    The button works, but it does not open in a new tab, still opens in same window.
