Sam w	:	have you searched for liferay tabs wiki?
		http://www.google.com.au/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&q=liferay+tabs+wiki&meta=&btnG=Google+Search
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	Thanks Sam for ur reply, I had followed that but I am facing this problem because I am using liferay sdk plugin for developing portlets and I am also not using any framework just simple jsp's.
		can u pls help me in solving the issue of navigation.
Mazhar Anwar	:	Can you directly include the jsp as follow?
		<%@ include file="/blog.jsp" %>
		since its working for me. It might be the problem with spaces in your jsp names. Can you remove it and give a try
		Regards, Mazhar
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	Hi Mazhar thanks once again,
		Now I am able to display the jsp pages.
		but the problem is it is displaying all the jsp's irrespective of the tab in my case if i click on
		sample tab1 ----------- tab1 //should be displayed
		but now it is showing if i click any tab it is showing
		tab1 tab2 tab3
		In order to use c: any imports are required?
Mazhar Anwar	:	might be
		you can try with adding <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" prefix="c" %>in your jsp and <taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c-rt.tld</taglib-location> </taglib>
		in web.xml. and add c-rt.tld in tld folder of your portlet.
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	Hi Mazhar, In my view.jsp I included the line
		<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" prefix="c" %>
		I added the following in web.xml file of my portlet
		<taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c-rt.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> and I added the c-rt.tld file which is 11kb in my tld folder.
		In the console Iam getting an error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV
Pascal Wasem	:	Maybe this helps you:
		Remember current tab
Mazhar Anwar	:	Please copy and paste jstl.jar and jstl-impl.jar from ext or portal source to WEB-INF/lib folder and deploy the portlet again.
		Regards, Mazhar
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	Thanks Mazhar,
		Finally I am able to navigate between the tabs correctly.Thanks a lot for ur help.
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	Hi Mazhar, If I want to use <liferay-util:include page="/sample_tab_1.jsp" > then I should include the below line right? <%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/util" prefix="liferay-util" %>
		and any other changes because it is working when iam using
		<%@ include file="/blog.jsp" %>
		If I am using <liferay-util:include page="/sample_tab_1.jsp" > it's cretaing some problem any changes in web.xml and some other files I have to do?
Mazhar Anwar	:	Do you get any exception when adding <%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/util" prefix="liferay-util" %> ?
Guduri Venu Gopal	:	I am using Liferay Plugins SDK 5.2.3 and liferay 5.2.3
