How to access a hyperlink in BEx Web Application designer

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

I am new to the BEx Web Application designer.

I need to launch a url say www.google.com or any webdypro application url in BEx Web Application on click of a button.

I choose a button group and add a button but I do not see any option/method to call this url from the application.

Please suggest how I can achieve that.

Thanks,

Hello,

I know this is an old thread, but I could not find anything with an actual answer to the question.

I have been trying to use a link item in WAD, but it's not letting me enter the URL address anywhere. Instead, I am only allowed to select a Command, which doesn't contain any option to include URLs.

Has anyone have any solution please?

Many thanks,

AL

Hi,

you could paste the link directly into the web template.

Or you define it as a report report interface und you call that one using the button.

or you do the html coding as desribed above

or you create a script item

Thank you Cornelia,

I have managed to figure this out by right clicking and inserting a hyperlink from the menu.

However, I would like to be able to link it to a button. Can you please clarify the report report interface that you mention above? How do I do this?

start transaction RSBBS

define the RRI there - please look it up in SAP help if you can´t figure out how to do it.

Ok. I see it probably requires some auths which I don't have, so will need to stick with the hyperlink.

thanks very much anyway!

Sorry, one more question.

Can I write a Script Function for this and then use it in the properties of the button? What would the code need to be?

Hi Ipsita,

if you go to the XHTML tab of WAD, you can insert the following code:

<p >

<span class="urBtnRow" >

<a id="BUTTON" class="urBtnStd" title="Your Link" href="http://www.google.com" target="_new" >Your Button Text</a>

</span>

</p>

Now if you want to place it exactly where your original Button was, search for the Tag

- which begins like this: <bi:BUTTON_GROUP_ITEM ... >

- and ends like this: </bi:BUTTON_GROUP_ITEM>

Copy the above mentioned text over this Section and you should get the expected result.

Kind regards - Oliver

Hi,

You have item "Link" in WAD especially for such case.

In addition if you are familiar with HTML (even a little) you can use XHTML tab to write your own HTML code.
