Example: 

Let’s build and execute the “HREFDef” example.  

  • Create a Form definition called “HREFDef.”
  • Drag a “BootstrapGrid, Label, Image, Hyperlink, and Submit” control to the canvas and arrange them as shown below.  

 

  • Double-click the “HREF” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. Provide a name for the control, a name for the hyperlink, and a URL to navigate to. Select the checkbox to open the target in a new window. Select the “Hide” checkbox to hide this widget during runtime. Click the Submit button. 

 

  • Select the “Styling” tab. Provide the style script and syntax for the CSS styles. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down list. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “HREF” widget to configure the “Other” properties. Provide the tool tip text information. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “HREF” widget to configure the “Globalize” properties. The application will alert you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, select the language from the drop-down list and click the Translate button. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Save the Form definition. Select Actions - Create Form Instance menu option. Generate a new Form instance and select the check box to edit this Form instance.

 

  • The Form is rendered as below.  Click the hyperlink to navigate to the website. Click the Submit button to complete.  

 

  • Note: The Hyperlink widget can also be initialized through the jQuery expression as below.
$("#href1").attr('href', "http://www.google.com");

 

  • Or, use the UpdateVariable step to initialize the variable.URLpath (string) variable and use the jQuery expression as shown below.
e.URLpath = “http://www.google.com”
$("#href1").attr('href', variable.URLpath);
