HTMLHyperlink class

The HTMLHyperlink class represents an HTML hyperlink tag. You use the HTMLHyperlink class to create a link within your HTML page. You can get and set many attributes of hyperlinks with this class, including:

• Get or set the Uniform Resource Identifier for the link
• Get or set the title for the link
• Get or set the target frame for the link

The HTMLHyperlink class can print the full hyperlink with defined properties so that you can use the output in your HTML page.

The following is an example for HTMLHyperlink:

     // Create an HTML hyperlink to the IBM Toolbox for Java home page.
     HTMLHyperlink toolbox =
        new HTMLHyperlink("http://www.ibm.com/as400/toolbox", "IBM Toolbox for Java home page");
     toolbox.setTarget(TARGET_BLANK);

     // Display the toolbox link tag.
     System.out.println(toolbox.toString());

The code above produces the following tag:

<a href="http://www.ibm.com/as400/toolbox">IBM Toolbox for Java home page</a>
