10.3.7 Adding a Rollover Effect to Tabs

With a rollover effect, an inactive tab image switches to an active tab image when users move their mouse pointers over the tab. You can add a rollover effect to a tab by enabling the rollover effect in the tab region and applying active and inactive images to the tabs. For the rollover effect to work properly, you must add active and inactive tab images other than default tab images see Section 10.3.6 , and there must be at least one tab on the page. That is, you cannot preconfigure a rollover effect before any tabs are created. The rollover effect executes in page View mode, but not in page Edit mode. To add a rollover effect to a tab:

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.

4. Under Pages in the Layout Appearance section, click the link to the page where

the tabs are located. This opens the page in Edit mode.

5. Click the Edit Region icon in the relevant tab region

10.3.8 Deleting Tabs

The task of deleting a tab is straightforward and simple; however, there are a few things to consider before you proceed. When you delete a tab that includes content, the content is deleted along with the tab. There is no opportunity to move the content during the delete operation. Be sure to move any content you want to keep before you delete a tab. Additionally, if the tab is derived from a template, you can delete the tab only if you also have delete content privileges on all the tabs on pages that are based on the template. This is to prevent users without the appropriate privileges from managing content. You can delete one tab at a time or multiple tabs at once. This section describes how to do both. It contains the following subsections: ■ Section 10.3.8.1, Deleting One Tab ■ Section 10.3.8.2, Deleting Multiple Tabs Simultaneously
