<xmod:AjaxLink>

<xmod:AjaxLink> renders a hyperlink that fires an AJAX request when clicked — same behavior as <xmod:AjaxButton>, just rendered as a link rather than a push-button.

Requires jQuery

The hosting page must include jQuery.

Sibling variants

• <xmod:AjaxButton> — push-button
• <xmod:AjaxImage> — clickable image

Example

<xmod:Template Id="Employees">
  <ListDataSource CommandText="SELECT * FROM Employees" />
  <ItemTemplate>
    <strong>[[FirstName]] [[LastName]]</strong>
    <xmod:AjaxLink Text="Get Employee History"
        Url='[[Join("~/GetEmployeeHistory.aspx?empid={0}",[[EmployeeId]])]]'
        Target="#EmployeeHistory" />
  </ItemTemplate>
</xmod:Template>

<div id="EmployeeHistory"></div>
