NAME

       wml::std::href - Enhanced Hyperlink

SYNOPSIS

	#use wml::std::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="THE://URL" 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" onmouseout="self.status='';return true" onfocus="self.status='THE_HINT';return true" onblur="self.status='';return true"><tt>THE://URL</tt></a>
	 <a href="THE://URL" onmouseover="self.status='THE_HINT';return true" onmouseout="self.status='';return true" onfocus="self.status='THE_HINT';return true" onblur="self.status='';return true"><img src="THE_IMG.EXT" alt="THE_NAME" border="0"></a>
