Hi Dan,
I believe the Trinidad implementation of tabs use "background-image:
url('path/to/image.png');" styles to create its appearance rather than
icons.
Doing a search on Google, I found this email thread containing
navigationPane styles, the tabs-inactive part looks like there is more too
it, e.g. "af|navigationPane::tabs-inactive af|navigationPane::tabs-start {
... }":
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-adffaces-user/200610.mbox/[EMAIL

Correct, I do not see any skinning documentation for navigationPane on this
page:
http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin-selectors.html
Regards,
Matt

Thanks, that's a very useful option, but I still can't figure it out. For
example one class in the generated HTML is af_navigationPane_tabs-inactive
And when I use Firefox to edit the CSS, I can style that correctly, but
when I put
af|navigationPane::tabs-inactive { ... }
in my css file, it doesn't seem to achnowledge it (even after clearing the
cache and all that).
Plus there are other questions. ADF had separate selectors for icons and
links, but the generated HTML doesn't seem to have that, just for one
example.
Is there really NO documentation at all for this? ADF at least had
adf-skins-doc.xml that I used. I will file a JIRA, as you say, if that's
the way it is.
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
I'm not sure what the selectors for that component are off-hand but one
handy procedure I can share with you (what I frequently use to make sure I
am skinning things correctly) is to *temporarily* add the following
(unsupported) entry in my web.xml file:
<context-param>
<param-name>
org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION
</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Then, I run my page using Firefox and the Firebug DOM inspector add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843
(or use whatever your favorite DOM inspector tool/browser combo is)
and then inspect the DOM tree to see what the assigned "class" attributes
are. So in your case, look for the element that contains the start side of
the tab. It may show a class value of "af_navigationPaneTabs_top-start" or
something similar to that. Once you know what that is, you can generally
deduce the skin selector from it, e.g. "af|navigationPaneTabs::top-start".
With that "disable" entry in your web.xml, you'll see the class values
that make sense to you, otherwise they'd show up as "x12" or something
obfuscated like that.
Really, the main issue here sounds like the docs for this component are
not accurate and need correcting. Feel free to log a JIRA issue for this
at:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD
Hope this helps,
Matt

Hi,
I'm migrating from ADF, where I had a selector like this
af |menuTabs::selected-start-icon {
content :url(/skins/common/images/tab_on_left.gif) ; width :11px ; height:
27px ;
}
After switching to Trinidad, as far as I can tell, all of my other ADF
selectors survived the trip, but all of my menuTabs ones like that one above
don't make it into the generated CSS. Instead, Trinidad is using the default
style, apparently
.x40 .x46 {
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(../../images/tab3-end-join-deselected-to-deselected.gif)
}
Now, I found what I thought was the latest documentation on the selectors,
and it says that my selector should be ok.
http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin-selectors.html
However, I do realize that menuTabs has gone away in favor of
navigationPane, so maybe that's the problem. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
Dan
