Re: Google Crawl
For what it's worth I've had some kind of similar needs for an open source app I work on, and solved the problem of tabs without actually removing them, but using bookmarkable links to select the tab. You can check how I did this here: http://xoocode.org/wsvn/xoocode/org.xoocode.xooctory/trunk/xooctory/src/main/java/org/xoocode/xooctory/web/pages/job/JobPage.java?op=filerev=0sc=0 Not the best code I ever wrote, but you might find it helpful. The important part is: *for* (ListIteratorITab iter = tabs.listIterator(); iter.hasNext();) { ITab tab = (ITab) iter.next(); *if* (paramSelected.equals(tab.getTitle().getObject())) { selected = iter.previousIndex(); } } TabbedPanel tabbedPanel = *new* TabbedPanel(*tabs*, tabs) { *protected* WebMarkupContainer newLink(String linkId, *final* *int* index) { PageParameters parameters = *new* PageParameters(); parameters.put(*0*, JobPage.*this*.jobKey); parameters.put(*1*, ((ITab)getTabs().get(index)).getTitle().getObject()); *return* *new* BookmarkablePageLink(linkId, JobPage.*class*, parameters); } }; tabbedPanel.setSelectedTab(selected); HTH, Xavier On 9/9/07, Sam Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your responses.

I am not sure if this is even possible as I use a TabbedPanel and PageableListView.
