Hi Cal,
Basically, i had to show some links by the side of the page(not the "MAIN"
content) and was wondering whether there was some consistent and elegant way
of doing this. I could change the styling of the sidebar and this could
potentially break in some pages and it was a pain to make the edits in all
pages.
I used a variant of your solution : i put the sidebar html in a separate
file(say sidebar.html) , and included it from each of the pages, passing the
active tab. Check for the tab in sidebar.html and suitably render the links
or content based on this.
Thanks.
