<A>
Return to Reference...| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| action | Invokes the named method within the current component. If that method yields a new component, application flow will switch to that component. Otherwise the current component is redisplayed when the method exits. | {oid} : Names the method to invoke. |
The dynamic <A> tag is used to invoke an action of some sort within the application. It can be used as one would traditionally use an <A> tag, to jump to another location (within the application), or it can be used simply to invoke a method in order to register some sort of event or to change some sort of state.
Typical Usage:
<a oid="gotoMainMenu">Return to the Main Menu...</a>
Usage Via A Binding:
<a oid="menuJump">Return to the Main Menu...</a>
menuJump {
action = :gotoMainMenu
}
One might want to use a binding if one desired the content template to remain static while preserving the ability of the developer to change which method clicking on the link invokes. The oid becomes a label instead of a method name, further seperating the issues of content from the issues of coding.
