Hi.
I am building a bit of a "learn-as-you-go" web site.
I have tabs that change based on what page the
user is on. The problem is, I have been using a
javascript doOnLoad function to recognize the page
the user is on and, then, provide the correct tabs.
This depends on a normal URL, such as http://www.mysite.com/index.html.
But, as I build
the site, I am learning that there are times when all
sorts of junk is in the URL (cookieless session states,
query strings, etc).
So, what is the best way to design navigation tabs
that follow the user's location despite an unpredictable
URL? My onload method isn't cutting it. FYI, this is the
basic idea of what i have been relying on:
function doOnLoad() {
if(window.locat ion.href) {
var hrefString = window.location .href;
try {
if (hrefString == 'http://localhost:8342/folder1/
signin/signin.aspx')
{
OpenTab(stuff.. .);
}
if (hrefString == 'http://localhost:8342/folder1/
home/home.aspx')
{
OpenTab(stuff.. .);
}
ETC...
Thanks in advance. 9  1771

Can you give us a URL of the pages you're working on, or an example of
somebody eles's tabs that are similar to what you're trying to do?

Hi John,
It seems the demo site has disappeared ( www.havocstudios.com). I found
this one and there is a short demo of what the tabs look like about
1/3 the way down the page: http://www.maxkiesler.com/index.php/.../fullview/371/
This site describes the code and its various functions for the ajax
tabs UI: http://www.maxkiesler.com/index.php/.../fullview/371/
I dont have a live site at the moment but I hope that gives you and
idea of what I am trying to do. Be happy to answer questions or send
code.
Thanks for your help.

I take it my links didn't provide useful info
for explaining what I am trying to do? Happy
to provide more code/info per request.
Anybody have some advice as to how to provide
tabs-based navigation on sites where the URL
gets parsed/changed a lot. In those cases, I
cannot use window.location .href to figure out
which tabs should be displayed.
Thanks in advance (again).

You can still use the URL for your purposes.
Please provide some examples of URLs you will encounter, including the
parts you don't want, and explain which PART of the URL you DO want to use
for your purposes. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

skipping repetive links (e.g., link as normal text, link as alt text

best approach.
Is there any place on the net where this is addressed?

Hi,
People have told me that some web pages they've seen have tabs across
their tops which are hypertext links. I can't see, so I'm not sure what
they're talking about.
Are these tabs some type of html element? How are they implemented?
Thanks,
