Help with Navigation bar active tab.

[Ben McGarry]

Ive just added two tabs to the navigation bar on my forums using this code:

<!-- mytab -->
        <li class="navTab PopupClosed"><a href="LINK" class="navLink">TEXT</a></li>
        <li class="navTab PopupClosed"><a href="LINK" class="navLink">TEXT</a></li>

But when i click on them it doesn't select them. For example when you click Forums at the top on here it changes into another colour, so it clearly shows its selected. How can i do this with that code above? It doesnt naturally do it.

Thanks

LINK has to be a page, so it "can" be selected.
You can then have a route, and have a selected tab for that route.

This is the code im using fully

        <!-- mytab -->
        <li class="navTab PopupClosed"><a href="{xen:link pages/vote}" class="navLink">Vote For Us!</a></li>
        <li class="navTab PopupClosed"><a href="{xen:link pages/servers}" class="navLink">Servers & Chat</a></li>

But that doesnt make it show as selected... it just keeps Forums selected.

Try this addon:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/

It works with page nodes.

Tab selection requires PHP code which this addon handles for you.

Thanks for that all fine now.
