    Hiding/Showing the Tabs on the Results Page (Classic UI)

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    The most prominent feature in Primo v3 is the use of quick-browsing tabs, which display under each search result record, as shown in the following figure:

    Hiding All Tabs in the Brief Results

    If you want to hide all of the tabs from your users, update the CSS, as follows:
    .EXLResultsList tr.EXLResult td div.EXLTabsRibbonClosed {display:none;}
    The result of this code displays as follows:

    Hiding a Specific Tab in the Brief Results

    If you want to hide a particular tab, such as the Reviews tab to prevent users from adding tags or reviews, you can use FireBug to determine the class name of the tab and add the following simple CSS line to your styles:
    .EXLResult .EXLReviewsTab {display:none;}
    The CSS class for the Reviews tab is EXLReviewsTab.
    The resulting view displays as follows, omitting the Reviews tab from the Brief Results page:

    Enabling the Mouse-Over Option in the Brief Results

    If you want to keep the interface feeling light and allow users to access all of the tabs, you can display the tab links only when users place the cursor over a result. To enable this option, add the following code to your styles:
    .EXLResultsList tr.EXLResult td div.EXLTabsRibbonClosed li.EXLResultTab a{color:#FFFFFF;}
    .EXLResultsList tr:hover.EXLResult td div.EXLTabsRibbonClosed li.EXLResultTab a{color:#0075b0; }
    The resulting view displays as follows:

    Because the mouse-over CSS function does not work in IE6, either you will need to provide a JavaScript workaround for IE6, or IE6 users will need to click on the title to access the tabs from the Full Result display.
