10.3.5 Changing the Alignment of Tabs

You can specify whether tabs display on the left or right side of a region. Additionally, you can specify that they display at a region’s start or end. This enables you to automatically shift tab display according to the reading direction of the current portal language. This is particularly useful in environments where you must accommodate bidirectional languages. You can align only pre-existing tabs. That is, you cannot preset tab alignment before you have created any tabs.

Log in to Oracle Portal.

7. Click OK to return to the page.

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.
