# WML:href(3)

Enhanced Hyperlink

## NAME

WML:href - Enhanced Hyperlink

## SYNOPSIS

```
 <use WML:href />
```

```
 <href url="..." [name="..."] [image="..."] [hint="..."] [target="..."] />
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is an interface to the standard HTML anchor tag (`"<a` `href="...">...</a>"`).  The intended use of `"<href>"` is to simplify the creation of hyperlinks. The following

```
  <href url="THE://URL" />
```

```
  <href url="THE://URL" name="THE_NAME" />
  <href url="THE://URL" image="THE_IMG.EXT" />
```

```
  <href url="THE://URL" name="THE_NAME" image="THE_IMG.EXT" />
```

```
  <href url="THE://URL" hint="THE_HINT" />
  <href url="THE://URL" name="THE_NAME" image="THE_IMG.EXT" hint="THE_HINT" />
```

gets expanded to

```
  <a href="THE://URL"><tt>THE://URL<tt></a>
```

```
  <a href="THE://URL">THE_NAME</a>
  <a href="THE://URL"><img src="THE_IMG.EXT" alt="" border=0></a>
```

```
  <a href="THE://URL"><img src="THE_IMG.EXT" alt="THE_NAME" border=0></a>
```

```
  <a href="THE://URL" onMouseOver="self.status='THE_HINT';return true"><tt>THE://URL<tt></a>
  <a href="THE://URL" onMouseOver="self.status='THE_HINT';return true"><img src="THE_IMG.EXT" alt="THE_NAME" border=0></a>
```
