Hi all,

I need to fill table column content with hyperlink so that when user clicks it a dialog will pop up. How to do this ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Setya

Hi,

markup support for Table [1] is a planned feature for RAP 1.5. This will
include HTML hyperlinks, but not those that you could add a listener to.

As a workaround, you could add a mouse listener to the table and
determine the cell that has been clicked. If that does not help, feel
free to open an enhancement request for this feature.

Best Regards, Ralf

I'm using an editing support (MyClass extends EditingSupport) for it.
Into the "getCellEditor" method, I call an external browser with: ExternalBrowser.open(...,...,...);

Ralf,

I have a table cell that I need a link that will drill down to the details of the object. I have no problem replacing the text with a link with table markup, but I cannot use a href because the details page is not a dialog window but stays inside the application. I tried to use the onClick="return false;" to suppress the href link but RAP does not like it (onClick is not allowed).

Also, with RWT_ENABLED to true, the padding of the TableCell goes away. It's the same behavior as in the tree cell as well.

With all the improvement done in 1.5, what is the easiest way to accomplish what I need to do? I mean, putting an HREF link in a table is not uncommon at all. On the other hand, we have put a listener in a cell so we can get the behavior we want. But there is no way I can make the text looks like a link so I have no visual cue for the user that something is clickable.

Thanks,
Ronald

I got around the issue by setting the link to:

<a href="#">Text</a>


This seems to work for me with one side effect. All the links in the table turns purple once I click on them once.

Still looking for alternatives ...

You can stop the links turning purple with CSS. From memory it is a:visited that will solve your problem.

Yes I did try that in my CSS file but it does not work. I put that in the same CSS file that I register with the branding extension.

It will need to go in a separate CSS file referenced by the rap start up page. The RAP theme CSS files are parsed by the RAP runtime, not the browser.

Thanks Chris. Found yet another hack to put "#" follow by 10 characters generated by "UUID.randomUUID.toString()". Now everyone of the links are unique and it is acceptable now.
