apex:outputLink

A link to a URL. This component is rendered in HTML as an anchor tag with an href attribute. Like its HTML equivalent, the body of an <apex:outputLink> is the text or image that displays as the link. To add query string parameters to a link, use nested <apex:param> components.

Example

1<apex:outputLink value="https://www.salesforce.com" id="theLink">www.salesforce.com</apex:outputLink>

The example above renders the following HTML:

1<a id="theLink" name="theLink" href="https://www.salesforce.com">www.salesforce.com</a>

Attributes

The number and order of comma-separated values depends on the shape being defined. For example, to define a rectangle, use coords=“left-x, top-y, right-x, bottom-y”. To define a circle, use coords=“center-x, center-y, radius”. To define a polygon, use coords=“x1, y1, x2, y2,…, xN, yN”, where x1 = nN and y1 = yN.
