Remarks

Because links returned by this element are absolute URLs and already encoded, there is no need to use the URLEncodeAsURL attribute to encode the URL (see Global Attributes for HTML-Rendering Elements).

The following examples show the URLs returned by using the URL element on an Announcements list:

  • <URL Cmd="EDIT"/> renders "http:// Server_Name / Site_Name /Lists/Announcements/EditForm.aspx"

  • <URL Cmd="NEW"/> renders "http:// Server_Name / Site_Name /Lists/Announcements/NewForm.aspx"
