Using Text Items for Navigation

Sometimes you want to use a piece of text instead of a button.  A simple 'Next >'  or  '< Back' is often more appropriate than a bunch of buttons all over your page.

You can add JavaScript to Text (or any other widget) for navigation easily.  Just add this code to the onClick event:

What's missing is how the cursor changes to a pointer when you go to click a button.  You can easily add this effect by setting up a custom CSS class.  Simply add this code to an HTML item anywhere in your app or append to your CSS file (linked by URL in Settings…Files).

On your Text item add the name of the CSS Custom Class in the widget properties.
