[Pro] Using a css menu as a tab in carousel

Probably a question for Walt! Is there a way of making the tab in the ‘carousel’ action into some sort of drop down/css menu so they are hidden when not being used.

Thanks

No, not at this time. But there is a text-only version of the Carousel
Tab that might be inserted into a CSS Menu element. It would be a
disaster as far as looking at it in the design view in Freeway, but
you could style it to look any way you liked in Freeway.

Another approach would be to duplicate what this Action does long-
hand. Simply note the IDs of the panes, then construct text links to
the panes, using the ID as the link:

 <a href="#pane1">Pane 1</a>

That’s what the HTML would look like when Freeway published it. In
Freeway’s design view, you would select your text, open the Hyperlink
dialog, switch to the External side of the dialog, and enter #
(octothorp) followed by TheIdOfThePane as the entire URL.

When the Carousel Action runs, it picks up any links to “its” panes
and wires them to work together. So all that the tabs (and text tabs)
actions do is provide a convenient way to add those links.

Thanks Walter, I think it’s probably time to slightly re-design the page. Is it something that might come along in the future though?
