I am creating an HTML page with 3 tabs contained within a tab control. On each of these 3 tabs there are different reports. I want different customers to land on a specific tab. Is there Javascript that I can write that will do this? I'm not familiar with Javascript at all so a little hand holding might be necessary. An example: Person A opens the HTML page and sees tab 1, Person B opens the HTML page and sees tab 2 - but they can both navigate to the other tabs when they want to.

Meghan,

If you are not "au fait" with javascript then how would you support the code you write? It is fine grabbing JS from various locations but without knowledge of the language you are inviting problems when it needs support.

Having said that, I would be inclined to use AJAX techniques to pass the userid and return the tab id required, using the retrieved id to make the required tab have focus.

Tony,

In response to your first point - isn't that how we all learn? The work that I'm currently doing is testing what 'can' be done. If someone were to provide me code so I can get it to function as we'd like I'm sure I could learn how to support it - as I've done with learning FOCUS code and any other language that my organization requires of me.

I'm asking for help - not criticism.

Meghan,

No criticism intended, just a heads up on the future support aspects.

I am sure many people could give you some code that would satisfy your requirements but I would be concerned at providing code samples that are anything but novice level when someone states that they are not familiar with JavaScript.

Leading on from that is why I added the second paragrah on how I might attempt a solution.

There was a posting, not too long ago, that had a similar requirement to which some sample code was added. The post was this one

It revolves around populating a date value from a value held in a database somewhere, but it could easily be retrieving the userid and then matching that to held data to provide the tab required. Then all you need to to assign that value as required.
