8.3.8 Object (std_lob)
The Object weblet provides a hyperlink control. It broadly corresponds to the <a> (anchor) HTML element that designates the destination of a hypertext link. It is very similar in function to the standard Anchor weblet (std_anchor).
- The Object weblet can display an image and/or text to represent the link. It is used to specify the WAM and webroutine that serves the Object content.
- The image or text can be static (specified as literals in the weblet properties) or can be determined by nominated fields, system variables or multilingual variables.
Note: "Object" in the context of this weblet refers to the contents of a LOB or a stream file.
The Object weblet looks like this:
In the example above, when the user clicks on the hyperlink the webroutine that serves the Object is invoked and the Object is sent to the user agent.
