I have a row of tabs in my header, and I am using css to make them indicate the active page, so there is a little customization using overrides.

the site is at lojerproducts.co.uk

Sometimes the index tab link doesn't work, and I wonder if this is related to the zenid being appended to the link. I never saw this when I was working locally, only on my hosting. If working from cache I don't think you see it either, as maybe this uses a current session? Prevent spider sessions is set to true, and I have my cache directory correctly set I believe.

The index link from the logo always works, but not the link from the home tab.
I can verify that it is not that the link isn't active when the url is without the index.php at the end - the problem is when the index tab is active (light blue), and a zenid is appended to the link. The index link doesn't work, yet the other tabs do.

This is my code,

if($s_link!=$page){

echo('<div id="tabs5"><a href="'. $var_linksList[$i]['link'].'"><span>'. $var_linksList[$i]['name'].'</span></a></div>');
}
else{
echo('<div id="curr_tab"><span>'. $var_linksList[$i]['name'].'</span></div>');
}

Please do not shout me down in flames if this is awful. I am used to xml/css and this is my first zencart.

Perhaps I should use a different way of getting the link for index?

any help/suggestions most appreciated,

SARAH
