Simple way to use button as link?

[Sergey Olefir <so...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

for user interface reasons I want to use button on an otherwise
read-only page that would simply open another page (e.g. act just like
a link would). What would be the simplest way to achieve that
(including i18n)?

I'm currently using form like this:
<form wicket:id="signButtonForm">
    <button type="submit"><wicket:message key="i18nKey">Placeholder:
Execute</wicket:message></button>
</form>

---

Form<?> form = new Form<Object>("signButtonForm")
{
    protected void onSubmit()
    {
        setResponsePage(new OtherPage());
    }
};
add(form);

---

This works, but seems rather verbose and roundabout. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance!

Try <button wicket:id="myLink"><wicket:message key="i18nkey"
/></button>.  Then, just add any type of link object to your page with
id "myLink."  You can attach a link to darn-near anything and it will
work.
