After hours of scavenging in badly written documentation, trying to understand
the monstrosity that seems to be OTP (also noticed that pragmatic programming: erlang
conveniently pushes this issue under the rug) i still have found no solutions.
It seems everywhere i look at these days, proponents of erlang keep rambling about
“scalability, availability, hot code updates” as if these are things that can be
magically gotten for free. Well if “hot code updates” is how things are done in erlang,
i will have none of that.

This is really frustrating to someone coming from lisp where
hot code updates trully “just work” and things do not fail
mysteriously. I have been trying to find out the cause of
this behavior for the past hour with no success.

1. Give the link to a particular pane as : link 1

2. Keep the track of your TabbedPane object using a variable thePane like this:
var thePane= new TabbedPane(’MyPane’,…………

3. Check the location and on the basis of it activate the appropriate tab:

function setthetab(sentobject)
{
var speciallink = “quicklinks/mypage.htm#NamedLink”;
var sURL1 = document.location.href;
var x1 = sURL1.substring(sURL1.length-speciallink.length,sURL1.length);
if(x1==speciallink)
{
thePane.load_page(’pane2′);
}
}
setthetab();

I’ve to still work on how to activate the class of the selected tab……

^–that
