Apparently, there was a conflict between the EasyTabs web part and the QuickLaunch_control web part obtained in the EUSP Superstar workshop. After I removed the Quicklaunch_control web part, the EasyTabs split into two rows without a problem.

Strangely, after removing the web part and re-adding it to the web zone, the split EasyTabs now remain and the quicklaunch collapse/expand functionality works just fine. (Quicklaunch_control webpart enables the upper left icon to act as a toggle to collapse and expand the left-hand margin containing quick launch shortcuts.)

Hopefully, others who encountered the same trouble can benefit from this finding.

Thank you, Christophe, for posting the code mod to split the tabs, and Happy New Year!

The Easy Tabs reuse existing SharePoint CSS classes. This gives a nice effect without overhead. You can of course replace them with your own CSS classes, that display your own colors or background images.

In the Easy Tabs online workshop, I also offer a different script, based on jQuery, that allows advanced customizations (e.g. rounded corners).

to answer your question: what you have is the “Easy Tabs bis” version (a clone of the original Easy Tabs, for people who need more than one tab row on a page):
activateTab12345(ActiveTab12345);

In your case, this should work:

var splitdiv = document.createElement("div");
var index = Math.floor(TabsTD12345.childNodes.length*0.5);
TabsTD12345.insertBefore(splitdiv,TabsTD12345.childNodes[index]);
activateTab12345(ActiveTab12345);

I understand your concerns and I appreciate that you share them.

However, I think you’re overreacting and not being fair when stating that “all the good work that was made available is no longer there”. Read my posts from the past few months and you’ll see that I continued sharing. It’ll be the same in 2010.
What is true is that as the content of my site grows, I spend less time writing new posts, and more time responding to comments and e-mails. This is my choice, to try and make this place as interactive as possible.

What I am doing with the workshops, and will be doing with the membership site, is at a different scale and cannot be compared with existing free sites. For the workshops for example, we are talking about weeks spent inventing new methods, and developing and testing dozens of Web Parts. This is not sustainable – and wouldn’t even exist – without a model like what Mark started with the workshops.

Thanks for the update on the Tabs.

I tried replacing the code, but the line you have that just show Activate Tab – I dont see.

All I have is

activateTab12345(ActiveTab12345);
}

i cannot get it working.

You have noted that 3.1 is available to those that attended the workshop.

Are those that attend the workshop gonig to be the only people that get your new code – regardless of the topic ? or would it be made available at sometime in the future?

Now that Mark at EUSP has started developing all the workshops that you have to pay for, all the good work that he and you have done in the past that was made available is no longer there.

I understand everyone needs to make money, but not everyone can afford to drop $129 everytime someone comes up with a new idea or updates some code.

Personnally I think everyone has got away from what started out to be a good thing which was sharing and growing the Sharepoint Community.

Perhaps we should all start to charge an entrance fee to our sites as well.

The EasyTabs webpart is very important to us. However, I was wondering if there was a way to implement nested tabs (having more tabs appear below after click on of the main tabs) by simply tweaking some of the Easy Tabs code.

Does anybody know how to do this?

- replace it with:
var splitdiv = document.createElement(“div”);
var index = Math.floor(TabsTD.childNodes.length*0.5);
TabsTD.insertBefore(splitdiv,TabsTD.childNodes[index]);
activateTab(ActiveTab);

…is [index] intended as literal syntax or as a parameter?
If intended as a parameter, where would I obtain the value to substitute?

Before the change, the tabs display as a single row, no problem.
After the change, however, using [index] as literal syntax, the tabs are no longer visible.

I am very eager to get this split to work, and look forward to your reply.
Thank you very much
Robin
