§ Simple tabbed interface

Simple tabbed interface intended to go to different pages.

Simple tabbed interface.  These links are assumed to go to different pages, so the hrefs would be real urls.  Each page would set the active tab on load.  This came from  a PHP project where various admin pages came up with different GET strings, but this was all included in a header file.

example

admintabs.html:

 


<html>
  <head>
  <title></title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='admintabs.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="admintabs.css" type="text/css" />
<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onload = makeDoubleDelegate(window.onload, function(){setActiveAdminTab(0)} );
</script>
  </head>
  <body>
<div id="adminlinks">
<span><a href="javascript:setActiveAdminTab(0)">Admin Home</a></span>
<span><a href="javascript:setActiveAdminTab(1)">Add New Member</a></span>
<span><a href="javascript:setActiveAdminTab(2)">Members</a></span>
<span><a href="javascript:setActiveAdminTab(3)">Jobs</a></span>
<span><a href="javascript:setActiveAdminTab(4)">Categories</a></span>
</div>
  </body>
</html>

 


 

 

admintabs.js:

 


function adminTabClick () {
  var tabas=this.getElementsByTagName("a");
  location.href=tabas[0].href;
}
function setActiveAdminTab(tabnum) {
    var tabsarray = document.getElementById("adminlinks").getElementsByTagName("span");
  for (var i=0; i<tabsarray.length; i++) {
    tabsarray[i].className="";
  }
  tabsarray[tabnum].className="activeadmintab";
}
function adminTabMouseover() {
  if(this.className!="activeadmintab")
    this.className="highlightadmintab";
}
function adminTabMouseout() {
  if(this.className!="activeadmintab")
    this.className="";
}
function addAdminTabMouseEvents() {
  var admindiv=document.getElementById("adminlinks");
  if(admindiv) {
    var tabslist=admindiv.getElementsByTagName("span");
    for(var i=0;i<tabslist.length;i++) {
      tabslist[i].onmouseover=adminTabMouseover;
      tabslist[i].onmouseout=adminTabMouseout;
      tabslist[i].onclick=adminTabClick;
    }
  }
}
function makeDoubleDelegate(function1, function2) {
  return function() {
    if (function1)
      function1();
    if (function2)
      function2();
  }
}
window.onload = makeDoubleDelegate(window.onload, addAdminTabMouseEvents );
 

 

 

admintabs.css:

 


a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

div#adminlinks {
  border-bottom: 3px solid #d0d0d0;
}

div#adminlinks span {
  background-color:#e7e7e7; 
  padding: 5px 15px 0px 15px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

div#adminlinks span.activeadmintab, div#adminlinks span.highlightadmintab {
  background-color:#d0d0d0;
  position: relative;
  top: -2px;
  padding: 5px 15px 2px 15px;
}

div#adminlinks span a {
  color:#000000;
  position: relative;
  top: 1px;
}

His idea managed to be both horribly unformed and far too complex - in itself quite an accomplishment, he supposed.
