    Properties - Anchor

The anchor weblet provides a hyperlink (or anchor) control. It broadly corresponds to the <a> (anchor) HTML element that designates the destination of a hypertext link.

The anchor weblet is frequently used with a field or a column in a list to provide a quick and easy way to both select an item and initiate an action concerning that item.

The currentrowhfield and currentrownumval properties specify that the corresponding department code is passed to that webroutine.
