> Hi Wendy, > Have you managed to set the cookie in an Action (that knows what > tab it will forward to) and make the proper tab get highlighted?
If you have any suggestions or changes, please post them here or on my Wiki: http://wiki.wendysmoak.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?StrutsMenuTabs I have this in the Action code: private static String STANDARD = "0"; private static String ADVANCED = "1"; private static String COOKIE_NAME = "menuSelected"; private void setCookie( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String tab ) { Cookie cookie = getCookie( request, COOKIE_NAME ); if ( cookie == null ) { cookie = new Cookie( COOKIE_NAME, null ); //might need to be "" instead of null } if ( !tab.equals(cookie.getValue() ) ) { cookie.setValue( tab ); cookie.setMaxAge( 2592000 ); //one month? cookie.setComment( "Foundation Accounting reporting tab" ); response.addCookie( cookie ); } } Then elsewhere in the Action, it's either: setCookie( request, response, STANDARD ); return mapping.getInputForward(); or setCookie( request, response, ADVANCED ); return mapping.findForward( "advanced" ); (I only have two tabs.) > If so, have you changed tabs.js javascript also? function activateMenu() { var menu = document.getElementById("menuList"); var items = menu.getElementsByTagName("li"); var menuSelected = getCookie("menuSelected"); //default to 0 if there is no cookie, to avoid an error if ( typeof( menuSelected ) == "undefined" ) { menuSelected=0; } items[menuSelected].className+="selected"; } > Can you share your experience on this effort? It works fine for me. Note that the setCookie code above has been modified and not fully tested yet. The original was too embarrassing to post. ;) It compiles, but I'm not sure about passing null to the Cookie constructor. -- Wendy Smoak Chandler, AZ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
