I have a site that has 6 or so main tabs. I was thinking how I would know which tab was active based on the page the user was currently visiting. I came up with one idea, but perhaps other people have ideas as well.
In my tiles I set aside a variable name 'section' which by default is "Home." In each jsp page, I define the section variable to equivalent to the section the page belongs to, else it will default to "Home." Then, when I render my master layout with the navigation, I check to see if the section variable is equivalent to the tab and if so, I display a highlighted tab. Instead of putting it in each jsp file I suppose I could make a mapping file of some sort, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Any other ideas?
