A Element

---

Defines a hypertext link for an element.

Syntax

<A
    HREF="url"
>

Attributes

HREF

Required. String value specifying the URL associated with the parent element.

Element Information

Number of occurrences	None or one (per parent element)
Parent elements	CHANNEL , ITEM
Child elements	None
File formats supported	CDF
Requires closing tag	Yes

Remarks

The URL specified in the HREF attribute will be displayed in the browser channel pane if the TITLE element is not present.

The HREF attribute of the parent element must be omitted when using the A element. To a CDF client, including the A element is functionally equivalent to using the HREF attribute with the parent element and omitting the A element.

Example

The following example uses the A element to define a hypertext link. The A element is nested inside an ITEM element. Note the absence of an HREF attribute within the ITEM tag.

<ITEM>
    <A HREF="http://www.joyware.tld/george.htm">Link to George page</A>
</ITEM>
