Edit Horizontal Tab Navigation
When a site's header has tabs, they function as key navigation for the site, with drop-down menus containing links that belong under each tab's topic.
- In Stanford Medicine sites, tabs generally represent all of the most important site topics and can range from 4 or 5 to a maximum of 10 (very small ones!)
- Top-level subsites and pages that cover topics considered school-wide in scope, including the school's Education, Research, Patient Care and Community home pages, Departments & Institutes site map pages, and Administration, share the same tabs and menus across all sites.
Making changes to tabs
You cannot edit your tabs or their menus directly, in either Contribute or Dreamweaver. If you want to change the number, order or wording of the tabs themselves, or to change any of the links or (in 2.0) sublinks, you must request this through the Web Help form.
About breadcrumbs links and highlighted tabs
Pages that are associated with one particular tab topic should display that tab highlighted, to let the user know this page is part of that topic.
Tab highlights are usually automatic, but can also be controlled using Breadcrumbs settings. The breadcrumbs include file can contain a snippet of code that triggers the highlight. Although it's visible when present, it isn't practical to add this code in Contribute; contact Web Help if you need help highlighting a specific tab.
