/**
* TLinkButton class
*
* TLinkButton creates a hyperlink style button on the page.
* TLinkButton has the same appearance as a hyperlink. However, it is mainly
* used to submit data to a page. Like {@link TButton}, you can create either
* a submit button or a command button.
*
* A command button has a command name (specified by
* the {@link setCommandName CommandName} property) and and a command parameter
* (specified by {@link setCommandParameter CommandParameter} property)
* associated with the button. This allows you to create multiple TLinkButton
* components on a Web page and programmatically determine which one is clicked
* with what parameter. You can provide an event handler for
* {@link onCommand Command} event to programmatically control the actions performed
* when the command button is clicked. In the event handler, you can determine
* the {@link setCommandName CommandName} property value and
* the {@link setCommandParameter CommandParameter} property value
* through the {@link TCommandParameter::getName Name} and
* {@link TCommandParameter::getParameter Parameter} properties of the event
* parameter which is of type {@link TCommandEventParameter}.
*
* A submit button does not have a command name associated with the button
* and clicking on it simply posts the Web page back to the server.
* By default, a TLinkButton component is a submit button.
* You can provide an event handler for the {@link onClick Click} event
* to programmatically control the actions performed when the submit button is clicked.
*
* By default, clicking on a TLinkButton will cause input validation (if any)
* to be performed. You can turn this on or off by setting
* the {@link setCausesValidation CausesValidation} property.
* If validation is successful, the data will be post back to the same page.
* You can change the postback target by setting the {@link setPostBackUrl PostBackUrl}
* property.
*
* To set the client-side javascript associated with the user's click action,
* use the {@link setOnClientClick OnClientClick} property. The value will be rendered
* as the onclick attribute of the link button.
*
* TLinkButton will display the {@link setText Text} property value
* as the hyperlink text. If {@link setText Text} is empty, the body content
* of TLinkButton will be displayed. Therefore, you can use TLinkButton
* as an image button by enclosing an <img> tag as the body of TLinkButton.
