Re: not to use cookie in tabbed menu ?

Here's a tabs.js that doesn't use cookies.  The tabs.js that ships with 
struts-menu tries to match on URL and if it finds more than one 
matching URL, that's when it drops back to cookies.  So cookies are 
just a backup.  The problem with using URLs only is you might have a 
link that no menu items match, and then you won't get any tabs 
selected.

tabs.js
------
if (!document.getElementById) {
     document.getElementById = function() { return null; }
}

function initMenu() {
     activateMenu();
}

function activateMenu() {
     var menu = document.getElementById("menuList");
     var items = menu.getElementsByTagName("li");

     // match on URL
     for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
         var url = items[i].firstChild.getAttribute("href");
         var current = document.location.toString();
         if (current.indexOf(url) != -1) {
             if (items[i].parentNode.className == "submenu") {
                 items[i].firstChild.className="selected";
                 items[i].parentNode.parentNode.className="selected";
             } else {
                 items[i].className+="selected";
             }
             break;
         }
     }
}

// Select the menu that matches the URL when the page loads
window.onload=initMenu;
