Hello,
i found that example for a Node Red Website:
[https://flows.nodered.org/flow/1bffe6808d37bd96cce283939983e758](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/1bffe6808d37bd96cce283939983e758)
I changed it to an Dashboard Navigation Bar, that worked great. Now i am looking for a Way that when i press an Icon on the Bar that i get an input in Node RED
Here is my Flow :
```auto

```
The Web site is aviable at: [http://localhost:1880/mysite](http://localhost:1880/mysite)

Add a fetch call into the `clickitem` function that calls your POST endpoint
```auto
(async () => {
const rawResponse = await fetch('/mysitepost', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ index })
});
const content = await rawResponse.json();
console.log(content);
})();
```
