Oops! Sorry I misunderstood your question. If you want a clickable link, I don't think Errors component can do that.
http://tapestry.apache.org/5.3/apidocs/src-html/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/Errors.html The text message is written as writer.write() rather than writer.writeRaw() You can create a new component for errors by copying the code from Errors and using writer.writeRaw http://tapestry.apache.org/5.3.7/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/MarkupWriter.html#writeRaw(java.lang.String) then you can pass html string to form.recordError() "<a href='" + link.toAbsoluteURI() + "'>here</a>" regards Taha On Dec 19, 2013, at 3:24 AM, Chris Mylonas wrote: > Thanks, but no again. > > > form.recordError(commonNameField, "The ip address you entered is public and > in use - please try again or search for it ${" + link.toAbsoluteURI() + "}" > ); > > renders this as a string, and without the expansion-y ${} it's just plain > old text. > ${http://hplaptop:8080/MetwideSubnetsWeb/search/ipaddress} > > > Similarly putting an <a href=\" + Link#toAbsoluteURI + \">blah</a> just > outputs text, like this: > > <a href="${http://hplaptop:8080/MetwideSubnetsWeb/search/ipaddress}"> > blah</a> > > (I've copy pasted html src.
