AEM Teser Component CTA

[bhavigoyal]

Hi, 

I am able to Author Teaser Component Cta as

tel:<tel number>,

it works fine but when i move to author it as

javascript&colon;alert('message');,

it doesn't make any href on DOM. How to achieve this using authoring only; i dont want to write custom js for this. As in LinkCheckerConfigImpl i found that tel: and javascript&colon;, both are there in configurations.

@bhavigoyal - which AEM version are you using?

Hi,

This is due to XSS protection. I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to add an alert into an anchor tag or what you're trying to achieve, but as long as you have a valid link, you shouldn't have any problems. If you want to add more complex links, you’ll either need to update the HTL context or overlay and adjust the XSS configuration. Please check my response here:  https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-links-with-more-than-o...

Hope this helps

Hey @bhavigoyal I took a look and it seems there is an issue with the context the Teaser component is using to render the anchors. You can open an issue in the core components GitHub or contribute with the fix[1].

As a workaround you can simple overwrite the href element with the proper context. Like this:

• Add the action.html to your Teaser proxy component.

• Explicitly add the href element after the data-sly-attributes.
