Can I have Tab selection as a link?

Post by Steve(spt) »

Hello folks,

Sorry about this if it seems simple! But , Can I have Tab selection as a link?

See here: http://www.jupiter-ace.co.uk/whatsnew.html

In this what's New page I would like to make the 'What ever Tab' as a link which would make the tab open. Is this possible?

thanks in advance,

Hi

as far as I see, your menu is not correct placed in the table.
Follow instructions here:

Regarding the "tab" requests (if I understand correct), and if you want relevant pages opened by clicking the tabs, then the main menu should not just contain "showmenu" properties but each of the items should have an url property set. This requires a re-design of your menu and the pages.

Thanks for your reply, maybe I didn't explane it very well.

in the above "Whats new" link I have some text like this;

[ Software Tab > Index & download ]

the Index & downloads is a normal html link.

Can the "Software Tab" text be a link and "seclect" the required tab.

Which would mean you to call the menu code, with the tab you want selected from a html link, maybe by setting some menu function?, placing it in the href link which would select / highlight the Tab?

thanks,

Hi

may be I still do not really understand, why you would like to do this by using the menu code rather than just setting relevant css styles.

for instance, linking [Software Tab] by as a what you call "normal html link" but setting for instance

a:hover { text-decoration:underline overline;background-color:red;font-weight:normal;color:white;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Verdana; sans-serif;}

and a:link just , - for instance - with inverted values or whatever you want.


If you want any Text appear and next to it a SELECT , this too, in my opinion is better solved using css directly rather than the menu, unless you would like to implement a popup there as it is demonstrated here
