# <xmod:ContinueLink>

The ContinueLink tag renders as a hyperlink at run-time. It is only valid within an <AddSuccessTemplate> or <EditSuccessTemplate> tag. When clicked, the user is returned either to the page that would have been displayed after successfully submitting the form or to the URL specified in the Redirect attribute.

# Remarks

  • The ContinueLink tag should only be used in <AddSuccessTemplate> and <EditSuccessTemplate> tags. It's purpose is to return the user to the page he/she would have seen if no success template was displayed or to send the user to the URL of your choice via the Redirect attribute.

  • Unlike other form controls, the ContinueLink control is really a template tag and, thus, begin with the "xmod:" prefix like so: <xmod:ContinueLink> rather than <ContinueLink>.

  • AccessKey: In browsers that support it, this property can be set to a character on the keyboard that can be used to set focus to the control. For instance, setting the value to F allows the user to access the control by pressing Alt+F on their keyboard (for Windows machines).

  • BackColor: Color of the background of the control.

  • BorderColor: Color of the border around the control.

  • BorderStyle: Style of the border around the control.

  • BorderWidth: Width of the border around the control, specified in units

  • CssClass: Name of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) class used to style this control.

  • Font Properties: A series of attributes such as font-bold, font-size, etc. that allow you to control how the text in the control is displayed. More

  • ForeColor: Sets the foreground color (typically the color of the text) of the control.

  • Height: Height of the control, specified in units.

  • OnClientClick: Should you wish to perform some action on the client when the control is clicked, add your Javascript function call or script in this attribute. If your script returns false the control will not perform its normal processing. If you return true then the control will perform its normal processing.

  • Redirect: Enables you to redirect the user to an alternative URL after the button is clicked. The redirection occurs after any form processes initiated by the button click completes.

  • RedirectMethod: Determines the HTTP method by which the user is redirected: "Get" or "Post".

  • Style: Same as the HTML style attribute.It allows you to apply CSS styling to the control (e.g. color: red; border: solid 1px black;).

  • ToolTip: In browsers that support it, sets the text to display when the mouse pointer hovers over the control.

  • Text: The caption that will be displayed on the button.

  • Visible: Determines if the control is visible (true) or hidden (false).

  • Width: Width of the control in units.
