Note: Be sure to click the icon in the tabbed region itself that is, the icon to the right of the tabs, not in a region within the tab. Note: When you add a tab to a center-aligned region, the tab is initially centered—even though Center is not a tab alignment option. To change the alignment of the tab, edit the tab region and click OK. You may note that when you edit the tab region, left-alignment is already selected for the region. Nonetheless, the tab does not initially display left-aligned because it has taken its defaults from the region from which it was created. Working with Layouts 10-33

10.3.6 Changing a Tab Image

With some page designs, you may want to use your own tab images in lieu of the default images provide by Oracle Portal. Add images for both active and inactive tabs. The active image displays when the tab is selected; the inactive image displays when the tab is not selected. Additionally, you can add a rollover effect so that the active image displays on an inactive tab when a user moves the mouse pointer over the tab see Section 10.3.7 . If you do not want a visual difference between active and inactive tabs, you can add just the active tab image. This will be used for both active and inactive tabs. When tab images other than the default tab images are used, the tab display name is not displayed on the tab, as it is with default tab images. Instead, the display name is used as Alt text, which pops up when a user rolls the mouse pointer over an inactive tab. If you want tabs that use images other than default tab images to be labeled, you must provide images that include their own label text The image must be a type that can be viewed in a browser, for example, JPEG or GIF. To change tab images:

1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

3. From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select the page group that

owns the page where the tabs are located. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

6. Click the Browse button next to the Active Tab Image field to locate and select a

graphic to display on the foremost tab. Alternatively, you can manually enter the location and file name of the image, for example: Note: To change a tab image, you must have at least the tab privilege Manage on the relevant tab. However, if you have full personalization privileges on a page, you can change the images of the tabs you add when you personalize the page. When personalizing, you cannot upload tab images for tabs that you did not create yourself. Note: Be sure to click the Edit icon that displays directly on the tab, rather than the one that displays next to or beneath the tab.
