Trouble with CSS Menu – shared html page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 21.2005

I’m using a css menu with 6 main tabs, and various sub pages under each tab.
each page has a class in the body tag like this – <body class=”tab1″….> – so that the tab in which the page was found is highlighted
The problem I’m having is that I have a sub page that is found under TWO different main tabs
Is there a way I can add some sort of if else statement of sorts to let the page know which main tab the user came from??

thanks in advance for any and all help

@pollyauthorJun 21.2005 — In case anyone encounters the same problem, here's my solution:

I set a parameter on the actual href coming from the menu tab2 - "blahblah.html?main_tab=tab2"

then I added the following to the page itself

<body class="<%= request.getParameter("main_tab") == null ? "tab1" : "tab2" %>"

now when blahblah.html is accessed from tab1, or tab2, the menu displays correctly

Success!
