Generates an anchor that can link to another document or invoke an action method in the Controller file.
Generates an anchor that can link to another document or invoke an action method in the Controller file.
The <netui:anchor> tag also supports JavaScript-based form submission and URL re-writing.
An anchor must have one of the following attributes to correctly create the hyperlink:

|
Specifies style information for the current element. |
styleClass |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The style class (a style sheet selector). |
tabindex |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The tabIndex of the rendered HTML tag. This attribute determines the position of the
rendered HTML tag in the sequence of tags that the user may advance through by pressing the TAB key. |
tagId |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
String value. Sets the id (or name ) attribute of the rendered HTML tag.
Note that the real id attribute rendered in the browser may be
changed by the application container (for example, Portal containers may change
the rendered id value to ensure the uniqueness of
id's on the page). In this case, the real id rendered
in the browser may be looked up
through the JavaScript function lookupIdByTagId( tagId, tag ) .
For example, assume that some tag's tagId attribute is set to foo .
<netui:textBox tagId="foo" />
Then the following JavaScript function will return the real id attribute rendered in the browser:
lookupIdByTagId( "foo", this )
To get a <netui:form> element and all of its children elements in JavaScript, use
the same JavaScript function lookupIdByTagId( tagId, tag ) . For example,
assume that there is a <netui:form> whose
tagId attribute is set to bar .
<netui:form tagId="bar" >
Then the following JavaScript function will return the <netui:form> element
and its children (packaged as an array).
document[lookupIdByTagId( "bar", this )]
To retreive the value entered into a <netui:textBox> within the <netui:form> tag, use the following
JavaScript expression.
document[lookupIdByTagId("bar", this)][lookupIdByTagId("foo", this)].value
The second parameter ensures that the JavaScript function
begins its search within the correct Portlet scope. Pass the
JavaScript keyword this as the second parameter. |
target |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The window target. |
targetScope |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The target scope in which the associated action's page flow resides. |
title |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The title. |
type |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
The type. |
value |
Required: No | Supports
runtime evaluation / JSP Expression Language: Yes |
|
Set the text of the anchor, overriding the body content. |
In this sample, clicking on this anchor submits the form data and invokes the method
submitForm
.
The JavaScript function will be invoked by the generated HTML anchor tag as follows:
