Hi all,

I would like to have your opinion.

When designing complex UI for extension, there is an option that consist in implementing a serie of Tab, that contains lots of option (PD Mxi creator is a good example).

You do that by designing different layers with the DIV tag.

If the user click on one the Tab you have, then you change visibility attribute of all of layer so that the new page is being visible and all other are hidden.

Up to now, I'm right, aren't I ?

So this is what I've done. And I observed a very strange behavior of DW and UD.

Inside the page layer, I have some input tag (textfield, select, ...)

I happens that when I change some properties of these input, well they are not anymore hidden with the rest of the layer when I change the visibility.

This is very curious, and does anyone has ever heard about such a thing ?

Is this a DW/UD bug or is it me that forget something ?

Well, as this was quite urgent, I found the solution, or should I say the problem.

In my extension I had two main layer that contained each two layer, one for the background and the other for the form.
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
+-- layer1 ---------+
| +----sub1----+ |
| | | |
| +------------+ |
| +----sub2----+ |
| | | |
| +------------+ |
+-------------------+
</font id=code></pre id=code>
What I did was to alter visibility on the two sub-layer, without handling the main layer.

So I changed the code and it works fine now.
I post this message in case someone else have the same problem.

You could look at Massimo's code for making atabbing interface. I used it in my conditional region 2 extension and was facing the same problem as you. I do not remember exactly how I solved it but you might want to have a look at ut: conditional region 2.

I think I have it, but I don't remember having seen tab, maybe I've got the wrong extension...I'll look once again, just to make sure...

Massimo's code can be found on massimocorner.com ?

Yes, lots of his extensions use the code. But mine also uses his code (he allows you to as long as you credit him). So when you have the Conditional Region 2 extension you can also see Massimo his code.

He he,

I thought I had this extension, but It was Advanced Conditional Region...

Conditional Region 2 is very nice indeed. Unfortunately, I hadn't heard about this code before I start the extension, so this part of the code is finished and seems to work.

But I'll know for the next time.

Thanks for the help
