Usage

To get started, use the head tag and the ajax theme. See ajax head template for more information. Then look at the usage details for the ajax a template.

 
If you want to use additional parameters in your s:a the best practice is to use a s:url to create your url and then leverage this url into your s:a tag. This is done by creating a s:url and specifying an id attribute.. like "testUrlId" in this example. Then in the s:a tag reference this id in the href attribute via " %{testUrlId}"
