Ive just tried this mod, and thx by the way.

I seem to get funny edge's to on my tabs? has any one found a cure?
Also Im new to all this and i was wondering if i want to change the siz of my tabs, can i just replace the pic with my own design and find the code and change size? where would i look?
Thanks in advance

The funny edge is the left corner is always square.

hi thanks for sharing this great mod!

I was wondering if it was possable to have 2 lines of tabbed menus? as i have lots of Categories.

Would this take a lot of modding?

Cheers Jamie

Hello

Thankyou for this very nice mod.
I think I have found a way to make the lag in the tab edges go away, I think some people are also having problems with it, I did the following and it works for me.

Please realise I do not have any knowledge of Java and I could well be missing something that is fundamentally wrong.
When it comes to code of any description I am like a parrot, I can copy and make some very basic changes, but have no underlying understanding of what it means.

This is for Tabs.js in the skin1/customer directory.

My fix did not fix
I got my mods mixed up, and my positive vibes made me think that I had fixed something I had not, maybe next time.

I hope this can help some people, its a very useful mod.

I think you also have your posting mixed up. There is no java in this tabs, only for the post on tabbed products detail.

Must be someone who's done this because I've seen website run by people on this forum with two or more lines of tabs

Ok, I'll have a look at this over the weekend, and hopefully post some revised code. I think i'll also have the time-lag on the tab rollovers fixed by then.

I have ideas for both that I'm fairly confident about, so its just a case of trying them out.

(by the way i've deliberately done it to all be HTML and CSS based rather than javascript - i'm going for maximum compatibility and accessibility)

Glad you like the mod!

Hi I've updated the code in my first post, as follows:

Updated tab_menu.tpl to better manage the subcategories sub menu. It now truncates long names, and wraps onto more than one line if there are lots of subcats. I also improved the way that it creates the subcategories menu, so that it will keep the first level of subcategories displayed, however deep down into sub-sub-sub-categories you are! (Thanks to fernando for making a post elsewhere that helped me with this).



Those of you who also wanted to wrap the main menu tabs if there were lots of them can look at how i've done it for the subcats and adapt the code for the main tabs. I won't be doing this as I think it'll look messy, and believe in having a smaller number of main tabs.

I'll also work on a way of preloading the rollover images to reduce the delay in displaying them.
