Tabrow menu - links doesn't work ??

  • I have put in the tab row menu in top of my page, but the link doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have made a test with only 2 pages - it can be seen here: http://www.test.scoop-reklame.dk/index1.html

    Can anybody help?

    Greetings from Denmark

  • Your <body> tag isn't closed in your markup, if you simply close it your tab links should work fine.

  • Thankyou for yr reply. I just cannot see that the closing is missing. Could you show me exactly where? I have tried to isolate the tabrow menu on a page and it didn't work there either. It seems only to work in Safari. Have anybody used it and made it work in IE and Firefox?

  • Open the source code. There is neither </body> nor </html>. And no </table> either.

  • Currently your source looks like the following:

      <body 
      <ul class="tabrow">
    

    Because you haven't closed the <body> tag correctly it will cause other elements to behave in a way which isn't expected.

  • Hi again, I have now "cleaned up" my tags and controlled it several times. Now everything should be in order, but the links still doesn't work. You can find the "clean" page here: www.test.scoop-reklame.dk/index1.html As I wrote before I have also tried to "isolate" the tabrow, just for testing, and I couldn't make it work there as well. Has anybody tried to use the tabrow menu with success. I mean in any other browser but Safari?? I would be happy to hear about your experiences with this menu :o) Greetings from nighty DK - zzzzzz

  • Dear @Yrsa_DK - Please do not flag posts to declare you have a deadline and demand a quick answer. Highlighting posts to say this will not get your post answered quicker. The advice offered here is fully voluntary, and all you actually do is irritate a guy with the power to delete your posts and account (me).

    Again - your posts will be answered when people either want/have the time/can answer. I would suggest you check out some other sources if your deadline is too pressing.

    Thanks.

  • Sorry, I have misunderstood the reason for using the flag! This will not happen again :o) However, I still very much would like to hear from people who have used the tabrow menu successfully. Rgds,

  • I've looked at your source code and, as you say, the links should work.

    What I would suggest is that you make a reduced case (just the menu) into Codepen so we can play with it.

    What I would say is that using tables for layout is a very old technique and better options (IMO) exist.
