</div>

function FillBox() {  
ListBox.text = “”;  
for (i = 1; i \< NameList.length; i++) {  
if ((i \> 1) && (NameList\* != “noName”)) {  
ListBox.text = ListBox.text + “\r” + NameList\*;  
} else if (NameList\* != “noName”){  
ListBox.htmlText = “\<A HREF=“asfunction:RemoveName,” + NameList\* + “”\>” + NameList\* + “\</A\>”;  
}  
}  
}

The formatting for the hyperlinked tag is right, but when I try to concat the htmlText field i don’t get the ability to click. All selectable, just no hyperlink. Is there something I can do to fix this?
