TO OPEN A specific tab in a tabbed panel via Dreamweaver, a file called SpryURLUtils.js is needed. This can be found via the Spry framework download at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/. Unzip the Download folder and head to the Include folder. Copy the SpryURLUtils.js into the default SpryAssets folder relating to the current site. Switch to Code view and link SpryURLUtils.js to the page by adding the following code in the <head>:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js”></script>.
<script type=”text/javascript”> var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
</script>.
Head to the bottom of the page where you’ll find the following variable inside some opening and closing script tags: var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(“TabbedPanels1”) Now add the following code after Tabbed Panels1: {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0} You should get the following:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(“TabbedPanels1”, {defaultTab: params.tab ?
params.tab : 0});
//–>
</script>
When linking to the page, the following needs to be added in the Link box in the Properties window, eg, ../tabtest.php?tab=1#TabbedPanels1. tabtest.php is the name of the page to link to and tab= defines which tab is selected. Tab=0 selects the first tab, tab=1 selects the second tab, and so on.
