Tabs in Freeway

A thought crossed my mind while browsing this thread…..then it passed and I felt better.

Seriously though, and I know this isn’t exactly ideal, but has anyone tried combining the show/hide functionality with the CSS tabs idea, or is there a problem with text links? Seems like a logical compromise.

Hi, I haven’t tried this, but I’m guessing here that you may be able to do this with multiple instances of the tab Actions.

If you want to have tabs in multiple levels, iframes and perhaps Paul’s action must be the answer, or?

I guess I never learn :-(

Anyone who beats their head up against link states is bound to learn a little bit about pseudo classes and pseudo objects. Not long ago, Tim titillated me with the :nth-child() pseudo class modifier — which isn’t even supported by Safari yet. Needless to say I was smitten with ideas of things that these special modifiers might allow.

The :target modifier is built on a simple and well known concept of using an anchor identifier (#) in a URI to target a spot on the page. So, like :hover allows you to create an appearance for elements when they interact with the cursor, :target lets you create a style that is only used when that element interacts with the URI identifier. Or at least, that’s how I translate the ancient W3C manuscripts: [url]http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/#target-pseudo[/url]

Thanks to everyone for checking it out. Someday, my dreams will come true. ;-)

I’ve been getting these flash of white on this iframe page http://www.christosdovas.com/Product/product.html click on bags, hats. Jackets or waist- dressing to see the problem. The background in the info palette is set to black for iframe.

Thanks

Ulf, iFrame is not valid XHTML Strict. If you’re worried about making a CSS version of the tabs, that might also bother you.

In addition, JavaScript is also turned off by corporate I.S. fiat in a surprising number of places, particularly in known security-compromised browsers (like any version of IE/Win). A pure CSS solution (if it would run on non-Standard browsers like IE) could get around that problem neatly. Alas, it appears to not be possible.

I think he was referring to the content of the iframe, over which he may or may not have control.

Off topic question Paul, is there any way to make the iframe action have an attribute to color the cut out hole it makes.

Waltd I’m posting the page link in a little bit. [/quote:48baf6476b]

Does the background colour in the Inspector Palette not do this for you?

Hi, for those who are interested, there are a couple of Actions which should help with the building of tabbed pages in Freeway. They allow you to have a number of discreet blocks of content on one page, and use an image to switch between them.

The JavaScript overhead is small, and the code generated degrades nicely if JavaScript is not present: all your content will appear in a neat column on the page instead.

The URL with a tutorial and downloads (including a demo Freeway Pro file)? Why it’s here: [url]http://www.softpress.com/products/Fun/tabs.php[/url]

NB - this Action makes use of Layers, so it’s a Freeway Pro only affair.
