              com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Hyperlink

Direct Known Subclasses:
  InlineHyperlink

    public class Hyperlink

extends Widget
implements HasHTML, SourcesClickEvents, HasClickHandlers

A widget that serves as an "internal" hyperlink. That is, it is a link to another state of the running application. When clicked, it will create a new history frame using `History.newItem(java.lang.String)`, but without reloading the page.

Being a true hyperlink, it is also possible for the user to "right-click, open link in new window", which will cause the application to be loaded in a new window at the state specified by the hyperlink.

### CSS Style Rules

- .gwt-Hyperlink { }

### Example

>     public class HistoryExample implements EntryPoint, ValueChangeHandler {

>       private Label lbl = new Label();

>       public void onModuleLoad() {
>         // Create three hyperlinks that change the application's history.
>         Hyperlink link0 = new Hyperlink("link to foo", "foo");
>         Hyperlink link1 = new Hyperlink("link to bar", "bar");
>         Hyperlink link2 = new Hyperlink("link to baz", "baz");

>         // If the application starts with no history token, redirect to a new
>         // 'baz' state.
>         String initToken = History.getToken();
>         if (initToken.length() == 0) {
>           History.newItem("baz");
>         }

>         // Add widgets to the root panel.
>         VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
>         panel.add(lbl);
>         panel.add(link0);
>         panel.add(link1);
>         panel.add(link2);
>         RootPanel.get().add(panel);

>         // Add history listener
>         History.addValueChangeHandler(this);

>         // Now that we've setup our listener, fire the initial history state.
>         History.fireCurrentHistoryState();
>       }

>       public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
>         // This method is called whenever the application's history changes. Set
>         // the label to reflect the current history token.
>         lbl.setText("The current history token is: " + event.getValue());
>       }
>     }
