I am trying to add dialog boxes to my app that contain help text. The user clicks something in the UI, and the dialog pops up. In it, there will be some text that says, for example "This value is found by multiplying a net income of $2,000,000 by a growth rate of 7.5%". I want to make the numbers "$2,000,000" and "7.5%" to look like hyperlinks, so that when a user clicks them, the text in the text area changes to explain how those numbers were arrived at.
I thought of making the whole text area respond to a click event, but in many cases I will have two or three links, which would mean two or three different text blocks that should appear. If the whole text area responds to a click event, I do not know how to tell what link the user clicked. I also tried using Anchor tags in htmlText, but those want to link to a URL or another anchor. Ideally, I would like to specify a link in the text that calls a function, so I can tell what link was clicked and then change the text in the dialog accordingly. Is there any way to do this, add a link to a function in my code, rather than a URL? Thanks, Pete
