The HTML_LINK function creates hypertext links that most HTML browsers commonly identify using an underline and/or a specific text color.
 
note
To make an image that activates a hypertext link, use the HTML_IMAGE function as the “text” in HTML_LINK as follows:
link = HTML_LINK(url, HTML_IMAGE('imagefile.gif')
