A Rich UI hyperlink defines a web-page link that, if clicked, goes
to the target page.
The following properties are supported:
- text specifies the string displayed
on the page
- target specifies a string that identifies
the window in which the new web page opens. Here are the valid values:
- "_top" opens the page in the current window, taking up the entire
page. This behavior is also in effect if you specify "_self", "_parent",
or no value for target.
- "_blank" opens the page is a different browser or browser window.
- href specifies the web address of interest
Supported properties and functions are described in “Widget
properties and functions.”
The following example renders a link to the IBM® web site, and the displayed text is "IBM":
Handler Hyper type RUIHandler {children = [myHyperlink]}
myHyperlink HyperLink
{
text = "IBM",
target = "_blank",
href = "http://www.ibm.com"
};
end
If the web page to which you are linking takes up the Preview view,
you can clear the page as follows:
- Double-click the Link Preview with Editor button
(the two arrows); or
- Load an EGL file that contains a different Rich UI handler.
Use of this widget requires the following statement:
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.Hyperlink;
