Conditional display of link

Is it possible to display link based on certain condition on the page itself?

 

Here is what i want to to

If (condition) {

<apex:outputLink value="/{!result.account.Id}" target="_parent"> {!result.account.FirstName + ' ' + result.account.LastName} </apex:outputLink>

 

} else {

<apex:outputtext value="{!result.account.FirstName + ' ' + result.account.LastName}"/>

 

}

condition  is based on value in another variable on the page.

 

What is the exact syntax for if on the visualforce page?

Hi sbrmath;

 

You meant something like this?

 

<apex:page>
	<apex:variable value="showSecond" var="myVar" />
	<apex:outputlink rendered="{!myVar=='showFirst'}" >I am FIRST link</apex:outputlink>
	<br/>
	<apex:outputlink rendered="{!myVar=='showSecond'}" >I am SECOND link</apex:outputlink> 
<apex:page>

If this is an output page, then you use this syntax.
 
 
{!IF(opportunity.IsPrivate, "Private", "Not Private")}
 
 Or, if you have a custom controller or extension, you can create a property, like this:
 
 
    public String myLink {
        get {
            if (condition) {
                return blah;
            }
            return other_blah;
        }
    }

 
If this is an edit page, and you want to rerender the link dynamically as the user inputs something, then you'll need actionSupport and rerender.
