Hi, lately I've been reading a lot, struggling with the problem and I've now a better understanding of what the real issue is. My description was not correct. Tabs with no content (other than the file referenced by indexfile attribute) are not expanded when they are selected and do not show an empty menu. What is happening is that the round bottom of navigation menus is *always* added to the bottom of the selected tab, even if no menu has been expanded (it doesn't happen with the skin approach).
I realized of that when I was editing a local copy of pelt-html.leftbar.panel.xml in order to do some customisations of my website. So I think that the essence of the problem is that the nav-section-round-bottom contract should be able to find out if a menu is being displayed (with whatever content, toc, message of the day...) or not. Unfortunately I don't know how to achieve this goal (it seems to me a complex task). In my website I've both tabs with menus and tabs without menus, so commenting out the call to the nav-section-round-bottom contract doesn't work for me. In summary, I still need help. On the other hand, although I've been reading a lot (including the tips section about this topic) maybe I've not doing something obvious or maybe there is a simpler way for doing what I want. If this is the case, please tell me. Vicent PS: the site.xml and tabs.xml included in my previous mail are not very important, you can reproduce the problem yourself with much simpler files. 2009/3/31 David Crossley <cross...@apache.org>: > Vicent Mas wrote: >> >> I'm a newbie.
