Adding next button
Hi Sergey, I'm using your header tabs extension here:

And it's working very well. One quick question though, is their an easy way of me creating a "next" button that will display a selected tab? Thanks

 * Hmm. Not sure what you mean - what will be the function of this "next" button? Maybe an image mockup could help. --Sergey Chernyshev 17:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, now I understand what you're talking about - since you have submit buttons only at the last tab, you want users to go to the end of the first tab and see a "next" button that will bring them to next tab to fill out. This can be easily done in the forms by adding hash link to the section next... it might be possible to do it with wiki syntax as well, like, please check and let me know. --Sergey Chernyshev 18:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Had a bit of a play around with it but without much luck. I also tried using some magic words but didn't get anywhere with that either. It seems that the form is not too hard to use with the tabs but a next button would be ideal, if you think of anything then I'd love to hear it :) otherwise keep up the good work!

 * OK, it looks like MW or SMW encodes = signs in hashes which breaks this. It's probably time to rework Header Tabs to use no = signs (as originally intended anyway, plus YUI released History into production instead of Beta - worth looking into). Not sure when I'll have time for this though. Meanwhile if you'll find a way to insert a real next... into your HTML, you can use that. --Sergey Chernyshev 16:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I added a link as a parser function, check out latest SVN version (it's not tagged as 0.6 yet, I'll do some final tests and stuff and will commit it). You can use it like this: - it'll create a link to switch to tab that was created from top level header with the name "Head 2" and the link text will be "Link text". Let me know if it works for you. --Sergey Chernyshev 03:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
