why is there no option to set a special class when a toolbar item is selected. The hover class works great, but then when the tab is "selected", there is no way to set it apart from the other tabs. It would be very useful for the user to be able to see what tab they are on by seeing the text in a different color, or the background different, etc.

I suppose there is some JavaScript that could be written to set the selected tab class to a different value -- has anyone written such a script?

Hi Mike,

If you are doing your tab structure using lxContainer then you have the option to distinguish selected and unselected tabs. For more information, you can go through page 142 in the document.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I think that I am going to be able to make this work using the info you referred me to. However, out of nowhere, I am getting this error when the page loads:

"Error: lxContainerGroup is not defined"

And when I click a tab, I am getting this error:

"Error: lxContainer is not defined"

This was not happening before, and I cannot figure out what is going wrong. I have three Listx modules on the page, and the module settings look like this (respectively):

<lxContainer ModuleId="[MODULEID,System]" Name="Departments" Group="Tabs"/>

<lxContainer ModuleId="[MODULEID,System]" Name="Courses" Group="Tabs"/>

<lxContainer ModuleId="[MODULEID,System]" Name="People" Group="Tabs"/>

In the footer of the last module...

<SCRIPT>
lxContainerGroup('Tabs');
</SCRIPT>

In my tabs I have the following set for the "action" of each of the three tabs:

lxContainer('Departments');

lxContainer('Courses');

lxContainer('People');

Under Global settings my "item" looks like this...

<td class="TabStrip_Top"><div id="tlbMn[NAME]"><button><div onmouseover="this.style.cursor='pointer';" onmouseout="this.style.cursor='default';">[NAME]</div></button></div></td>[SEPERATOR]


Everything looks right to me, but maybe I am missing something, as this is the first time I have tried to use this. Any help is much appreciated.

duh...not sure how I missed the "general setting" of "include javascript utiltities"...but that was it.
