WEBDEV manages the following events by default (order of appearance in the code editor):

Remark: Only the browser codes are available in a static page.

Sequence for running the codes of the links

Two click codes are associated with the links:

a browser click code, entered in WLanguage (or in Javascript) in the code editor. This code is included in the HTML page and it will be run on the computer of Web user.
a server click code, entered in WLanguage only. This code will be run on the server.

The table below presents the code run according to the type and to the action associated with the link. The target does not affect the order in which the sections of code are run.
