Hi John,

a good phrase someone wrote on this list long ago was: if something is complicated to do in WO you are doing it wrong

So to your problem: your hyperlinks are differing in one or more attributes so why not moving those attributes to your code and returning the appropriate value there instead of making complicated HTML spaghetti ;-)

<ERXHyperlink href="$myConditionalHref">
... bunch of html that applies to both the above conditions
</wo:ERXHyperlink>


in code:

public String myConditionalHref() {
	return condition ? value1 : value2;
}
