Static Hyperlinks

There are two types of hyperlinks that you can use in a WebObjects application:

A static hyperlink (which uses the HTML <A> tag), whose destination is constant.
A dynamic hyperlink (WOHyperlink), whose destination can be specified at run time. See Dynamic Hyperlinks for more information about these.

To create a static hyperlink:

Click on the toolbar.
Type the text that the hyperlink should contain. As you type, the text is underlined.
Alternatively, you can select existing text and then click to convert the text to a hyperlink.
Use the Inspector to set the destination of the link. You can also change the hyperlink to an anchor.

Note : While the destination of a static link cannot change, it's possible to vary its text at run time by using a dynamic string (see Dynamic Strings ) inside the hyperlink.
