I am using the Menu control (RedTab 2 design) and I need to select the appropriate menu tab on page load after postback or redirect. The "SaveStateCrossPages" and "StateCookieName" methods don't appear to do anything. If I set "SaveStateCrossPages" to true shouldn't I see a value going across in the querystring? Anyway I wrote code to set a cookie myself and I have that working fine but I can't figure out how to select the appropriate tab on page load using that cookie value. Or explain to me what I may be doing wrong with SaveStateCrossPages.
Please help

Hi, You would call this method to select a menu item: http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/jsdoc.public.navigationitem.setselected.aspxIn order to call this function, you will need to get a menu item object first. There are various ways to get a menu item objects. For example, you can do:
Code: JavaScript
eo_GetObject("Menu1").getTopGroup().getItemByIndex(0);
To get the first top level item. You can get detailed information about our client side API here: http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/clientapi_howto.aspxSaveStateCrossPages works with NavigateUrl only. It does not work post back or server side redirect. So that maybe the reason why it is not working for you. Thanks!
