The <go> tag

Back

The <go> task represents the action of going to a new card. Where to go is specified with the href attribute.

Note: The content for the <go> tag is optional. 

Note: The <go> tag can contain <postfield> or <setvar> tags.

Syntax

<go href="someurl">
..<postfield>..
..<setvar>..
</go>

Attributes

Attribute Value Description
href url REQUIRED. The URL of the new card
accept-charset charset_list A comma or space separated list of character encoding the server must be able to process. The default value is "unknown"
method post
get
Sets how to send the data to the server. Default method is get.

When you use method="get", the data is sent as an request with ?data appended to the url. The disadvantages of get is that it can be used only for a limited amount of data, and if you send sensitive information it will be displayed on the screen and saved in the web server's logs.

With method="post", the data is sent as an request with the data sent in the body of the request. This method has no limit, and sensitive information is not visible

sendreferer true
false
If set to true, the browser sends the URL of the current deck with the request, which allow servers to perform simple access control on decks, based on which decks are linking to them. Default is "false"
class cdata Sets a class name for the element. The class name is case sensitive. An element can be connected to multiple classes. Multiple class names within the class attribute are separated by white space
id id  Sets a unique name for the element
