There is a tutorial on how to insert tabs but after using the help feature and looking through the manual I can not find any information on this. Is this still possible?
This is a CSS styled list. You will have to setup your own styles via the Styles Editor to get the result you want. As a reference, take a look at the link: Listamatic: Unraveled CSS Tabs
This example is close to what you had in mind, but more importantly shows the CSS values to follow. Be aware that certain things like Padding and Margin have to be added with the Extended option in the Style Editor.
The Softpress Tabs tutorial is very different from your sample site. That method relies on javascript and graphic objects while the CSS method does not rely on either.
You can still accomplish something that “looks” like your sample site, but technically won’t be. Did you try following the Softpress tutorial? It’s pretty easy to follow, but you do have to use css layers to do it.
I have created the “tabs area” and the subsuquint html boxes that belong in the “tabs area”. I then created the graphic items (tab buttons) and tried to set the tab item, 1,2 and 3.
However, once I select the first tab and assign it tab item 1, then move to the second tab and assign it to item 2 it reassigns the first tab to item 2?
For some reason I can not get the button to assign to different tabs, it seems to reassign them all?
First of all, there are actually 2 actions involved here. There is the Tab Area action, and there is also the Tab Button action. The Tab Button action is what you will use to create the tabs. To use the Tab Button action select the graphic you are using for your tab, then from the Item/Actions menu apply the action.
Why would creating a tab area change the page format?
I have a horizontal css navigation bar on the page. When I create a tab area it somehow creates padding on the top of the page (which should not be there) and shoves the navigation bar to the left, hanging off the page.
