I have a tabbed navigation component with several WOHyperlinks
each bound to a different action method.
I have created a generic WOHyperlink that adds a class binding
bound to a cssClass method that checks the link's location and
returns the CSS class as a string based on whether the component
is on the link's "home" tab or not.
Why not just use a regular WOHyperlink and put the class selecting
logic in the tabbed navigation component? It seems like that is
where this code belongs.
This didn't work for me. In my WOHyperlink I had "class" bound to
the method cssClass:
public String cssClass()
{
if (isOnTab()) {
cssClass = "subnavhighlight";
} else {
cssClass = "subnav";
}
return cssClass;
}
public boolean isOnTab()
{
if (currentTab.equals(homeTab)) {
isOnTab = true;
} else {
isOnTab = false;
}
return isOnTab;
}
currentTab is in the navigation component with its value taken from
the parent (^currentTab)
So the page sets that?
I added the homeTab binding to WOHyperlink bind it to a String.
Now you lost me. Why did you do that? What are you trying to achieve?
homeTab always resolves to null so the isOnTab() method always
resolves to false.
OK, let me try to understand this. You have something like this in
your WOD?
SomeLink: WOHyperlink {
action = something;
class = cssClass;
homeTab = "Inventory";
}
Is that right? This is going to produce this html:
<a href="...." class="subnav" homeTab = "Inventory">...</a>
It is NOT going to set homeTab on the parent class to "Inventory" if
that is what you were thinking.
Or am I totally off track?
