Introduction

urlex() extends the capabilities of url() by allowing you to specify a particular protocol, host, and port for the URL to be generated.

For instance, if you want to make sure that sensitive data like credit card numbers are transmitted safely, you might use the secure protocol HTTPS (rather than HTTP). In this case, you use the urlex() function to specify that a protocol other than HTTP should be used.

Syntax

urlex( <protocol>, [<portNumber>], <action - operation> )
urlex( <protocol>, [<portNumber>], <action - operation>, [<parameter - operation>] )
urlex( <protocol>, [<host>], [<portNumber>], <action - operation> )
urlex( <protocol>, [<host>], [<portNumber>], <action - operation>, [<parameter - operation>] )

Example

a href ="#urlex('https','443',action('ViewBasketHistory-Start'))#">
... link text to be displayed ...
</a>
