How to insert an active link in an input text box?

Question

Can I insert an active link in an input text box?

I tried using the tag <a>inside the html value, but it did not work.

<?php $email = "<a href=\"[e-mail]\">[e-mail] </a>"; ?>   

<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>">  

It returns text without a hyperlink value.

Answer 1

Here are a couple of mistakes ...

• You do not avoid your quotes. Therefore, PHP is not valid.
• You are trying to put HTML inside an attribute, which is also invalid.

The only alternative I could see here is an HTML c element contenteditable="true". This makes it so that the element (per say a <div>) can modify its contents.

<?php $email = "<a href=\"[e-mail]\">[e-mail] </a>"; ?>   
<div id="fake-email" contenteditable="true"><?php echo $email; ?></div>

, .

Edit:

, :

document.getElementById("form").onsubmit = function(){
    document.getElementById("email").value =  
    document.getElementById("fake-email").innerText || document.getElementById("fake-email").textContent;
}

:

<form action="..." method="..." id="form">
   <div id="fake-email" contenteditable="true"></div>
   <input type="hidden" id="email" name="email" />
</form>
