Is it possible to place a hyperlink in a statpanel? I tried:
stat("<a href = \'http://www.mywebisite.com'>Visit the site</a>")

and it doesn't seem to work, heh.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to create a hyperlink in a statpanel (it doesn't help that your tag is messed up, either -- never put a space between the equals and the attribute or its value; the format is always <tag attribute="value" attribute2="value2" attribute3="value3">data</tag>).

However, there is a trick you can use to create a "link" in a statpanel:

obj/statpanel_link
  icon = 'statpanellink.dmi'
  name = "Visit the Site"
  Click()
    ..()
    usr << link("http://www.mywebsite.com")

var/obj/statpanel_link/SITE_LINK = new

mob/Stat()
  //unshown code goes here
  stat(SITE_LINK) //add the link to the site to the current panel



And that avoids a smack with a newspaper for the day...
