DialogLink JSP Tag Attributes

Use the DialogLink JSP tag to instantiate a UIX ButtonBean object that initializes any of the dialog JSP tags (such as PrintOptions, SaveAs, or ExportOptions). The DialogLink object sends an event to its associated dialog JSP tag so that it can initialize the dialog tag's attributes.

For example, to export a presentation, you typically use the following procedure:

  1. In the page that contains the presentation, insert a DialogLink tag with the text attribute: "Export". This causes an Export button to appear in the page.

  2. Create a separate JSP page to display the Export Options dialog. Specify the name of this JSP in the targetPage attribute of the DialogLink tag.

  3. In the new JSP page, insert an ExportOptions tag. Specify the identifier of this tag in the targetToolId attribute of the DialogLink tag.

  4. In the new JSP page, insert an ApplyButton tag and a CancelButton tag to provide buttons for the Export Options dialog.
