RE: [displaytag-user] Column attributes and run time expressions

Thank you, Mr.Herrick

1. if I put the anchor tag in the body of the column,
the default sort will not properly work
2. paramid concept works only when you want to send
only one parameter. it does not work with multiple
parameters

If I put anchor tag in the column body, I have to do
external sorting

otherwise I have to use table decirators for forming
links

I do not know if there are any other options

Thanks again
