hyperlink in table view not working

Classic Servoy
1

i’m trying to place a hyperlink in a table view using an HTML area. The hyperlink should call a global method. I can get it to work in record views, but not in table view.

For now I’m working around the problem by using a button instead of an HTML area.

Anyone else have this problem?

OK I figured out why this wasn’t working. The form’s controller.readOnly property was set to true.

This seems like a bug to me, seeing it differs from the behavior in Record view where hyperlinks remain active even when the form is readOnly. Also, buttons work when the form is readOnly so why not hyperlinks?

I also note that even when the form is NOT readOnly, in table view I have to click twice on the hyperlink to get it to work. It seems like the first click just focuses the cursor on that HTML_AREA field, and a second click is required to activate the hyperlink.

Servoy, is this normal behavior or shall I submit cases for either/both of these issues?
