newbie question on 'mailto' hyperlink

Hello All,

This is so basic, but I need help.  Which component should I use to 
render a mailto hyperlink?  Can you show me what would the syntax in the 
html template file should look like?


I am trying to generate the following html:

<tr>
<td>Bell High School</td>
<td><a href="mailto:prichard@sympatico.com">Mr. Prichard</a></td>
</tr>


Tapestry certainly has a learning curve, but it is beautiful.

cheers,
James

This is what I use:

Home.html:

<a jwcid="mailToLink" href="#"><span jwcid="employeeEmail">foo@bar.net</span></a></span>

Home.page:

    <component id="mailToLink" type="Any">
        <binding name="href">
            "mailto:" + employee.email
        </binding>
        <static-binding name="element" value="a"/>
    </component>

    <component id="employeeEmail" type="Insert">
        <binding name="value" expression="employee.email"/>
    </component>

Not much, you can disable the link by simply setting the disabled property to false. And you can 
provide custom renderers for the link although I don't see how it would be useful in this case.

A GenericLink can be enabled or disabled.

A GenericLink can support JavaScripting; it can enclose a Rollover.

What advantage is there for using GenericLink over using @Any?

That would be a GenericLink something like <a jwcid="@GenericLink" 
href="mailto:prichard@sympatico.com">Mr. Prichard</a>
