The state of the drop down menu maker selected reverts back to the default tab
Q:
I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page but
the state of the drop down menu maker selected reverts back to the default tab.à How
do I keep the tab selected when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A:
You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within
1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can’t remember pressed
item. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
(var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn’t support API functions which can return the
selected tab.
So, you can set “bselectedItem” parameter based on your link before
you call data.js file.
For example, move “bselectedItem” parameter from data.js file to your
code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript1.2″>
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src=”data.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
