[Laszlo-user] Hyperlink with onclick?

[David Temkin]

Wait a sec.... Isn't the <a> tag, with the normal usage of the href  
attribute, supported within text fields -- even in Flash?

Now, href doesn't work within the <view> tag, and <a> doesn't work  
anywhere but inside of <text>, but that's another story.

Not that what you've done isn't useful -- but I don't think it's  
needed in the normal case (click to link to another page).
