I am using Dreamweaver CS5. i am using the tabbed panels in my website. I have built a template. Now I am adding a child page. In the content of one of the panels I need to add links. I have tried everything but the links do not work when testing. I really need this to work. Please help. Thank you in advance.

    There is alot of code to include everything here. It seems like the tab code is blocking the link.


    I still don't know what the problem is.   Incidentally, Spry is deprecated in modern DW.  Adobe abandoned Spry in 2012 because it's outdated & the code base had not been updated since 2006.   You might want to replace Spry Tabs with with jQuery UI.   The code is very flexible and you can customize it as required.

    Below is an example of jQuery UI Tabs.  I used the black-tie Theme here but you can use any of the others below. 

    <!doctype html>

    <html lang="en">

    <head>

    <meta charset="utf-8">

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <title>jQuery UI Tabs - Default functionality</title>

    <!--change jQuery UI Theme as desired. This one is black-tie-->

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/black-tie/jquery-ui.css">

    </head>

    <body>

    <div id="tabs">

    <ul>

    <li><a href="#tabs-1">TAB 1</a></li>

    <li><a href="#tabs-2">TAB 2</a></li>

    <li><a href="#tabs-3">TAB 3</a></li>

    </ul>

    <div id="tabs-1">

    <p>Proin elit arcu, rutrum commodo, vehicula tempus, commodo a, risus. Curabitur nec arcu. Donec sollicitudin mi sit amet mauris. </p>

    <ul>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    </ul>

    </div>

    <div id="tabs-2">

    <p>Morbi tincidunt, dui sit amet facilisis feugiat, odio metus gravida ante, ut pharetra massa metus id nunc. Duis scelerisque molestie turpis.</p>

    <ul>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    </ul>

    </div>

    <div id="tabs-3">

    <p>Mauris eleifend est et turpis. Duis id erat. Suspendisse potenti. </p>

    <ul>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    <li><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>

    </ul>

    <!--end tab--></div>

    <!--end tabbed panels--></div>

    We would need to see your code.  But you realize links on a Child page will have no influence whatsoever on other child pages spawned from the same template.   Only links inside the Template & outside Editable Regions will populate to child pages when the template is saved.

    I used the template to set up a spry tabbed panel. I did not change any of dreamweaver's built in code for the spry. On the child page I am adding content to the editable region of the tabbed panel. The links are not to the correct pages but I have not created them yet and I needed to test the links. The links are going to existing pages.

    Here is the content I am trying to add.

    Could it be you don't have the location link of the image in the - src="" for each image in the anchor tags?
