Hi Julian. The actions tool allows you to group actions. CMF on its own has nothing called portal tabs. This is Plone talk I believe. If you are developing in CMF which I am assuming, you are speaking of actions. Any object type can provide actions. In any case, it boils down to writing a script or two and including a conditional statement in your template to provide a class that you can style with your css. Your python script(s) must: 1) Gather the actions you are interested in evaluating 2) Obtain the current URL and determine whether it matches an action from the actions you wish to evaluate (whether it is a part of the path or name). You will note that all actions have ids and a URL so this helps with this comparison. Once you have some logic that correctly isolates the correct action based on the current URL, write a zpt condition in your template(s) to provide a class attribute in your html that you can style. It is common to give this attribute a name such as 'selected' for a horizontal or vertical menu for semantic purposes. You should examine the api for the actions tool. The main_template in CMF groups object actions, folder actions, workflow actions etc as an example. Hope this helps. Regards, David JulianRead wrote:

Hi i have made 3 portal tabs which link to 3 different pages in my site. ( In the same way that in www.plone.org there are the portal tabs home, about, documentation etc. )

I am trying to find out how to highlight these tabs when the user is in that corresponding page or its subpages.
