Xpages Menu using lotusSelected

Hi,

I’m converting an existing Lotus Notes application into an Lotus Notes application using Xpages.

I’ve created a custom control for my menu. I use class=“lotusSelected” on the default selected menu item. But when I click on the other menu item the first one stays green (selected). How can I change the selected menu item?

Any help is appreciated!

I’m using the following code:

<xp:view xmlns:xp=“http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core”>

<div class="lotusColLeft">

	<div class="lotusMenu" role ="menu">

		<div class="lotusBottomCorner">

			<div class="lotusInner">

				<ul>

					<li class="lotusSelected" role="menuitem">

						<xp:link escape="true" text="By Product" id="link7">

							<xp:eventHandler event="onclick"

								submit="true" refreshMode="complete">

								<xp:this.action>

									<xp:openPage

										name="/ViewAllBySegment.xsp">

									</xp:openPage>

								</xp:this.action>

							</xp:eventHandler>

						</xp:link>

					</li>



					<li role="menuitem">

						<xp:link escape="true" text="By Tool" id="link6">

							<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"

								refreshMode="complete">

								<xp:this.action>

									<xp:openPage name="/ViewAllByCategory.xsp">

									</xp:openPage>

								</xp:this.action>

							</xp:eventHandler>

						</xp:link>

					</li>

					

				</ul>

			</div>

		</div>

	</div>

</div>

</xp:view>

Subject: You’re opening a new xpage

You are opening a new xpage when you click on the link - it’s not going to automatically remember that you clicked on that menu item in the new page.I’d suggest computing the lotusSelected attribute depending on what page is open.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Working with Xpages is a bit new for me. Can you help me getting started with this. How do I set this up? Or where can I find more info about writing such code.
