Create a HTML Publication with tabs

As first topic I am introducing the a special customization of the HTML output of Corpprate Publisher. Fot those who are not aware of what Corporate Publisher is please follow the link to the Casewise webiste (Please Login or Register to see the link.) to get the full product description.

Basically Corporate Publisher creates output of the Corporate Exchange which is the underlying database of all Casewise products. Corporate Publisher allows you in a very flexible way to generate nice formatted HTML sites and provide it to specific audiences/stakeholders. More on stakeholders in my post “Please Login or Register to see the link.“.

A standard HTML output created with Corporate Publisher contains of course the content from Corporate Exchange like diagrams, object types, their properties and/or associations. These associations are very powerful as it allows you to understand the relationships between objects, which can be used for impact analysis, business continuity, compliance implementations and much more.

This first post is the start of a series of post, providing you on a regular base a step-by-step instruction on how to build a HTML publication that contains Ajax tabs. Other posts of this series are:

    Looks nice Helmut,

    Shame it isn’t a default option to publish this way standard.

    Small remark. the linkresults when searched endup in a dead link when clicked.

    Question: does your publication also work with silverlight output?

      Thanks a lot, for mentioning the error in the search results. Seems that I need to change from absolute to relative path. Will be fixed over the weekend!

      Corporate Publisher is able to publish with XAML (Silverlight) but I found problems in using my tab structure (DHTML) together with Silverlight, that’s why my example is not using Silverlight.

      HI Caroline,
      Silverlight is now supported since at least 3 years. Simple choose in Corporate Publisher the output format XAML.
