You would need to copy the submenu code from the navbar to add it to your tab. I think someone asked about this before recently, and they were pointed to ragtek's article about adding a navtab since he used a template and it was easier to copy/paste the code using his template method. So, you may want to check out his similar article.

This tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!

As always, great article Lynne!

Thank you

Can this method be used to add a tab to the navbar that opens a new browser window to an external website? I don't need any submenus, just a link to another site in its own window.

Yes. You just need the last line though:

Nice! Thanks!

The target="_blank" doesn't work to open a new browser window, at least not at my site:

Shout Street Click on 'Zip Code Maps'

Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.

We will be back soon...

Heh, but the navbar is still active for this, it works the same either way - board on or off.

Okay, I just tried that link on my site with a target="_blank" in it and it opened another tab fine for me in Opera.

How can I make my new tab appear first in the list? Using 'navtab_start' makes it the second tab but not the first.

EDIT: Figured it out.. You add in navtab_start then change the execution order from 5 to 4.
