Hi Wendy,
I have just changed tabs.js javascript and make the tab get highlighted.
I did not change any Action's code. It's working great.
Here is the function activateMenu():
function activateMenu() {
var menu = document.getElementById("menuList");
var items = menu.getElementsByTagName("li");
var activeMenu;
var found = 0;
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
var url = items[i].firstChild.getAttribute("href");
var appNamePos = url.lastIndexOf("/");
var appPath = url.substring(0, appNamePos);
var current = document.location.toString();
if (current.indexOf(appPath) != -1) {
found++;
}
}
// more than one found, use cookies
if (found > 1) {
var menuSelected = getCookie("menuSelected");
//default to 0 if there is no cookie, to avoid an error
if ( menuSelected == null ) {
menuSelected=0;
setCookie("menuSelected", menuSelected);
}
if (items[menuSelected].parentNode.className == "submenu") {
items[menuSelected].firstChild.className="selected";
items[menuSelected].parentNode.parentNode.className="selected";
} else {
items[menuSelected].className+="selected";
}
} else {
// only one found, match on URL
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
var url = items[i].firstChild.getAttribute("href");
var current = document.location.toString();
if (current.indexOf(url) != -1) {
if (items[i].parentNode.className == "submenu") {
items[i].firstChild.className="selected";
items[i].parentNode.parentNode.className="selected";
} else {
items[i].className+="selected";
}
}
}
}
}
Thank you,
