Help with 2 level tab menu

B

Bigalo

Hello,
I'm stuck and would like some help. I have a horizontal tab structure
with subtabs. Right now the main tabs are activated onclick and they
show their respective subtabs. I would like to add the same
functionality to the subtabs so that when they are clicked, the style
changes and the clicked subtab shows as active. I would also like to
have the cookies applied to the subtabs and subtab contents as well.
Can anyone please help?

Hello,
I'm stuck and would like some help. I have a horizontal tab structure
with subtabs.

What a job !
Right now the main tabs are activated onclick and they
show their respective subtabs. I would like to add the same

?? seems to work with onmouseover, non ?
functionality to the subtabs so that when they are clicked, the style
changes and the clicked subtab shows as active. I would also like to

that is made : sub-menu becomes red when clicked

If we click one of the menus a new page would have to be loaded, this
new page will have same menu,
perhaps with a particular css to show the menu as you want ?

have the cookies applied to the subtabs and subtab contents as well.

why that for ?
to get the menu as it was on previous page ?
Can anyone please help?

Ideas of menus structure other than yours :

<http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/dd_valid.html>
<http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/dd_valid_2.html>

Perhaps they will be easier to fix by your cookie(s)
