Child Elements

The ACTION_CONTROL element can contain the following child elements:

Table 1. Child Elements of the ACTION_CONTROL Element
Element Name	Cardinality / Description
`LINK`	0..1. An action control with a `TYPE` of `ACTION` that has no `LINK` element will create a link to the previous page in the history that had `SAVE_LINK` set to `true` on the link that led to this page (this is typically used for Cancel buttons). However this type of `ACTION_CONTROL` should not be present on a page that is directly referenced by any tabbed configuration artifact. Also, if this type of `ACTION_CONTROL` is preceded by another `ACTION_CONTROL` of the same type in the page history, there is the potential of a circular reference between these pages. An action control with a `TYPE` of `SUBMIT` that has no `LINK` element will submit the field values to the action phase and then return to the previous page in the history that had `SAVE_LINK` set to `true` on the link that led to this page. An action control with a `TYPE` of `FILE_DOWNLOAD` only requires a link if it must provide the page parameter values specified in the `INPUT` elements of its configuration. Each `CONNECT` element in the link can contain a `SOURCE` element to specify the value and a `TARGET` element specifying the page parameter to which to map the value. The `PROPERTY` attribute value of the page parameter must match the `PAGE_PARAM` attribute value of the `INPUT` element in the configuration.
`CONNECT`	0..1. A `CONNECT` element specifying a single `SOURCE` end-point. As a direct child it is used only for an action control with a `TYPE` of `CLIPBOARD`. Such an action control places predefined textual data into the system clipboard when clicked. Text to be copied to clipboard can be sourced from the server, the request or a properties file. The `CONNECT` element used can only contain a `SOURCE` element with a `NAME` property of `PAGE`, `TEXT` or the name of a server interface defined within the page.
`SCRIPT`	0..n. A script element associated with an action control. For a detailed description of this element see SCRIPT. `SCRIPT` elements are not supported on `ACTION_CONTROL` elements with a type of `CLIPBOARD`.
`CONDITION`	0..1. Affects whether or not the `ACTION_CONTROL` is displayed.

When linking to another page, the link must specify all page parameters declared on the target page.
