If you look at the JavaScript file for this menu - you should be able
to figure it out. I believe each menu item gets a number id for it's
cookie. You could use your browser to see what cookie is set when you
click on it.

OK, great, thanks. Can you tell me more about the cookie? The
contents, etc?

The code you have above isn't in the code listed below. Are you
referring to the code from the example JSP? If you do your processing
in a servlet or filter - you shouldn't need to do anything in the JSP
-
just grab the repository and render the menus. Since you're setting
it
as a session variable named "repository" - you'll have to specify
repository="repository" as part of the useMenuDisplayer tag.
On
an unrelated note, what could cause submenus from being displayed. I
have a
whole bunch of pages that forward to a "query results" page which
doesn't
get listed in menu-config.xml. How do I make sure the parent tab is
still
highlighted and the submenus get displayed?
I believe the "highlight this tab" functionality is currently made
possible by URL matching and then by cookies. You should be able to
set a cookie in your code to highlight the appropriate tab in a query
results page.

Thanks,

Hello,
I've been using the struts menu for a few weeks now, and I
like
what I
see. I have a few questions if anyone can help:
1. I have about 5 main tabs with a few dozen submenus (using the
nice
looking tabs menu). I need to add a "Home" menu to be the first
main
tabbed
menu item, but the location of it needs to be set upon the user
logging in
(instead of being pulled from the menu-config.xml). In my login
code
(a
servlet), how would I do this?
You can grab the repository from the servlet context, modify it
and
stuff it into the user's session. This howto may help:

2. I'm using the TabbedMenuDisplayer, and changing tabs is slow.
Has
anyone
experienced this?
What do you mean - the JavaScript/CSS seems slow - or the pages
are
slow to load?
Matt
