Description

The widget defines the way an action is rendered, on its location.

Take a look at the image to visually identify the different widgets.

Note: If widget is not defined, button is taken as the default value.

Available widgets are:

button

Renders the action as an HTML INPUT TYPE=button element, with the label as VALUE. (default)

link

Renders the action as an HTML A (anchor) element, with the label as child.

Both widgets use the ONCLICK attribute of its elements (div|a) to fire the action's event.

Usage

<action
   name = NAME
   label = LABEL
   type = TYPE
   widget = WIDGET 
   ...
/>
