Question

I am having this HyperLInk in my cellTable ,but its Clickhandler is not working

myHyperLInk.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler(){

  public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
    Window.alert("test");

 }});

It displays a warning :

The method addClickHandler(ClickHandler) from the type Hyperlink is
deprecated

When i click on the link, it simple go to the previous page from history. How can i simply say show a message dialog on pressing a hyperLink?

Answer 1

I think what you want may be an anchor widget vs a hyperlink.

Hyperlinks are usually used for working with the history.
