    public class TabsTag
    extends javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyTagSupport

    A simple JSP tag for displaying tab information in the admin console. The SidebarTag is similiar to this one.

    Attributes:

    • bean (required) - the id of the request attribute which is a AdminPageBean instance. This class holds information needed to properly render the admin console tabs.
    • css (optional) - the CSS class name used to decorate the LI of the tab.
    • currentcss (optional) - the CSS class name used to decorate the LI of the currently selected tab.

    This class assumes there is a request attribute with the name specified by the bean attribute.

    This tag prints out minimal HTML. It basically prints an unordered list (UL element) with each LI containing an "A" tag specfied by the body content of this tag. For example, the body should contain a template A tag which will have its values replaced at runtime:

    
    
          &lt;jive:tabs bean="jivepageinfo"&gt; <br>
              &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;a href="[url]" title="[description]"&gt;[name]&lt;/a&gt; <br>
          &lt;/jive:tabs&gt;
    Available token are:
    • [id] - the ID of the tab, usually not needed.
    • [name] - the name of the tab, should be thought of as the display name.
    • [url] - the URL of the tab.
    • [description] - the description of the tab, good for mouse rollovers.
