Problem with open link in new tab

Question

Hello, I want to put the following link (www.soscisurvey.de/en/privacy) so that participants can open it in a new tab.

I use <a href="www.soscisurvey.de/en/privacy" target="_blank">Hier der Linktext </a>

but when I click on it in the survey instead of opening the link I get a 404 error because it tries to open:

https://www.soscisurvey.de/ProjectFolder/www.soscisurvey.de/en/privacy

What am I doing wrong?

I also tried using the direct hyperlink button in the Formatted Question option, but it opens it in the same tab, and this does not work for me.

Answer 1

It looks like you forgot the https://, causing the browser to understand the URL relative to the current URL. As an option, you may also specify only the path.

<a href="https://www.soscisurvey.de/en/privacy" target="_blank">
<a href="/en/privacy" target="_blank">

Please note, that the above information will be insufficient, if you process personal data (see Personal data)
