how to execute a url using a Link

[Former Member]

hi

I have to execute the url. when the user enters a url in an inputfield and clicks on the link, the url that is entered in the input field should get executed. initially when the page is loaded a default url will be displayed in the inputfield, now when the user gives a new url and clicks on this link, this new url should get executed.

i am giving the sample code

InputField input = new InputField("url");

form.addComponent(input);

String TestUrl=input.getString().getValueAsString();

Link testApplicationLink = new Link("testurl");

testApplicationLink.setReference(TestUrl);

i am able to execute the url that is set when the page is loaded and not the new url that is modified by the user

thanks in advance

regards

Hi Mani,

i suppose javascript can solve u r problem, just try this and check if this works

testApplicationLink.setOnClientClick("setUrlForTesting()");

<script language='JavaScript'>

function setUrlForTesting() {

var input = inputfield.getValue(); // JUST GET THE URL IN THE INPUT FILED

opnewwin = window.open(input.toString()); opnewwin.focus();

} </script>

You have to store the new url in some variable in ProcessAfterInput method and set the link to this new variable in ProcessBeforeOutput method.

I guess you are using PDK.

Hi Radha Krishna Bodapati,

requirement is to perform a client side validation, because every time if it hits the server, i think the performance might go down.
