Jacopo,
I have seen that the <link> tag can be used to get something similar without
changing the java code.
I have put this tag:
<link target="${uiHelpUrlsMap.ProjectManagerApplicationRoles}"
style="help-link"/>
soon after the opening container tag and the same icon is displayed.Unfortunately the url is relative to ofbiz home but may be with othe <link> tag options we can have absolute urls. Where can I find a complete reference of the <link> tag? -Bruno 2008/4/13, Bruno Busco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Jacopo, > yes the system could be improved.
