Further Tab Customization

[PRO] This section describes advanced techniques for customizing the layout and appearance of tabs,

and is recommended for JSP programmers only.

WOW uses 5 JSP's to display a typical tabbed screen:

Here is the same tab screen, overlayed with different colors to distinguish the different JSP's:

By replacing one or more of the WOW default JSP's with your own custom JSP's you can completely

control the manner in which tabs are displayed to the user. Each of the 5 different JSP's are discussed

below:

• • Parameters JSP (yellow overlay) – This JSP displays the parameters of the tabbed operation

    • to the user. If you want to use a JSP other than the WOW default, specify your JSP in the

    • "Parameters JSP" field of the tabbed operation.

  • Results JSP (pink overlay) – This JSP displays the results of the tab data operation. If you want

    • to use a JSP other than the WOW default, specify your JSP in the "JSP File" field of the tab data

    • operation.

  • Tab Parent JSP (blue overlay) – This JSP displays the contents of the tab parent row. If you want

    • to use a JSP other than the WOW default, specify your JSP in the Tabs property group of the tabbed

    • operation.

  • Tab Headings JSP (green overlay) – This JSP displays the tab bar and labels. If you want to use a

    • JSP other than the WOW default, specify your JSP in the Tabs property group of the tabbed operation:

    • Tabs {

    • defaultTab: C_HISTORY;

    • tabParentJSP: /jsp/myTabParent.jsp;

    • tabHeadingsJSP: /jsp/myTabHeadings.jsp;

    • }

  • Tab Layout JSP (entire screen) – This JSP is responsible for positioning the four other JSP's. Those

    • four JSP's are all contained within the tab layout JSP. If you want to use a JSP other than the WOW

    • default, specify your tab layout JSP in the "Details JSP" field in the tabbed operation.
