Q1189 Whilst using Data Binding on Internet Explorer 4+ how can you include HTML information, for example a link?

Say you have a data.txt file containing:

Number,Text,Date,Name,Url
100,abc,19971104,Me,<a href="http://www.irt.org">irt.org</a>
400,zzz,19961003,You,<a href="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</a>
300,fox,19950902,Them,<a href="http://developer.netscape.com">Netscape</a>
50,bad,19981201,Us,<a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon.com</a>

You can include a last column containing a url with:

<html>
<body bgcolor = "#ffffff">

<object id="dataBindId" classid="clsid:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
<param name="DataURL"    value="data.txt">
<param name="UseHeader"  value="true">
</object>

<center>
<table border=1 datasrc="#dataBindId">
<thead>
<form>
<th><input type="button" value="Number" onClick="document.all.dataBindId.sort='Number';dataBindId.Reset();"></th>
<th><input type="button" value="  Text  " onClick="document.all.dataBindId.sort='Text';dataBindId.Reset();"></th>
<th><input type="button" value="   Date   " onClick="document.all.dataBindId.sort='Date';dataBindId.Reset();"></th>
<th><input type="button" value="  Name  " onClick="document.all.dataBindId.sort='Name';dataBindId.Reset();"></th>
<th><input type="button" value="   URL  "></TH>
</form>
</thead>
<tbody>
<td><div datafld="Number">Number Here</div></td>
<td><div datafld="Text">Text Name Here</div></td>
<td><div datafld="Date">Date Here</div></td>
<td><div datafld="Name">Name Here</div></td>
<td><div datafld="Url" dataformatas="html">Url Here</div></td>
</tbody>
</table>
</center>

</body>
</html>

The important part is the dataformatas attribute, which has a value of "html".
