Making Tabs active

I now have a fewTabs for  visualforce pages on my navigation bar.

 

The problem is that when I choose a page, that page's Tab does not become the active one.

 

What do I do to fix that?

 

Here is a sample page:

<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="CaseExtension">
<apex:stylesheet value="{/Resources.ForteStyles.css}" />
<style>
.hv{text-align:left;font-size:1.2em; color: #1fbdf2;font-weight:bold;}
</style>
<apex:pageBlock title="My Requests" >
<apex:form >
<apex:dataTable value="{!cases}" var="s" columns="5" cellspacing="15" >
<apex:column headerValue="Request Number" headerClass="hv">
<apex:outputLink value="/apex/Viewed_Request?CaseNumber={!s.CaseNumber}">{! s.CaseNumber}</apex:outputLink>
</apex:column>
<apex:column value="{! s.Subject}" headerValue="Subject" headerClass="hv" />
<apex:column value="{! s.CreatedDate}" headerValue="Date/Time Opened" headerClass="hv" />
<apex:column value="{! s.Ownerid}" headerValue="Request Owner" headerClass="hv" />
</apex:dataTable>
</apex:form>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

Hi,

You need to add tabStyle attribute in <apex:page> as:

Suppose you have a VF tab name "ShowRecords" and you need if you open a page this tab become active do this:

<apex:page tabStyle="ShowRecords__tab">

I tried the following:

 <apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="CaseExtension" tabStyle="My Requests">

 

But I get:

Error: Invalid tabStyle 'My Requests' specified. If you are trying to reference a custom Visualforce tab, you must append '__tab'.

 

 

I tried: 

<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="CaseExtension" tabStyle="My Requests_tab">

and received the same error message.

i changed the name of the tab to be My_Requests_c

 

and this worked:  tabStyle="My_Requests_c__tab"

 

Thank you so much for your help

I now realize that this have also worked with:  tabStyle="My_Requests__tab"

 

What is the advantage of making the tab name: My_Requests_c
