I have 15 basic tables ( 2 or 3 fields).
I would like to manage tese tables from one page.
When I generated the page I got a long tab canvas that I should scroll at rigth to see the rest of the tabs;
My question is : can I put these tabs under 2 or more lines
Thanks in advance

Monta,
This is more a UIX question - well, I assume you are using UIX - than a JHeadstart question. It is not something you solve in a pre-generation way.
The easiest way to address this might be to edit the generated <app>TabBar.uit file. It includes a single tabBar element that stretches along the full length of the page. What you can do is include a second or even more tabBar elements, each having a subset of your tabs. Include the tabBar elements in a flow layout: as long as they fit on the page, they will be displayed a single line, when that does not fit anymore it starts to wrap.
<flowLayout>
<contents>
<tabBar selectedIndex="${uix.rootAttr.selectedIndex}">
<contents>
<link text="Departments1" destination="javascript:doNavigate('StartDepartments1.do');"/>
<link text="Employees1" destination="javascript:doNavigate('StartEmployees1.do');"/>
</contents>
<attributeMap>
<rootAttributeMap/>
</attributeMap>
<childMap>
<rootChildMap/>
</childMap>
</tabBar>
<tabBar selectedIndex="${uix.rootAttr.selectedIndex}">
<contents>
<link text="Extra Tab" destination="javascript:doNavigate('StartDepartments1.do');" />
<link text="Nog een tab" destination="javascript:doNavigate('StartEmployees1.do');"/>
<link text="Salesteam" destination="javascript:doNavigate('StartSalesteam.do');"/>
</contents>
<attributeMap>
<rootAttributeMap/>
</attributeMap>
<childMap>
<rootChildMap/>
</childMap>
</tabBar>
</contents>
</flowLayout>
However, there is an issue with setting the correct selected index on the tabbars. You will probably have to write some JavaScript to get that exactly right; right now, selecting the first tab in any of the tabBar elements will highlight the first tab in all tabbars...
