Another option would be <%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %> see more options here http://www.snapsis.com/DotNetNuke/Support/tabid/560/aff/12/aft/5003/afv/topic/DotNetNuke-Tokens--Some-tricks-for-getting.aspx

Just a quick question and hope I'm not overlooking something in the DNN Skinning Guide..

Using the [Tab:tabname] worked .....
However, Now i have to display the Root LEVEL of the Parent.
I thought that [Tab:level] would do the trick... but it does not. Neither [Tab:parentid] nor [Tab:level]

When coding the token as follows:
<dnn:TEXT runat="server" id="dnnTEXT" CssClass="PageTitlePaneClass" text="[Tab:level]" replaceTokens="True" /> are there any Ideas on how to display the Root Level  TAB of a child's menu item?

You will find some examples in this skin: http://dnnskinextensions.codeplex.com...
(you use these without the text skin object)

As an example:
<%If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > (0) Then Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level-1).FullUrl)%>
Will return the url of the parent page of the current page.

<%If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > (0) Then Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level-1).Level)%>
Should do it I think.

Thanks that was very interesting, however instead of the Root Level Tab Number being displayed.... my goal is how to display the ROOT level Tab Name.
I tried the following...
<%If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > (0) Then Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level-1).TabName)%>

but it did not seem to work. In fact, instead of displaying the root level Tab Name, i just got an empty blank.

Did i mis-type the code? All i'm trying to do now is display the root level TabName and not the number "0"

Please advise....

Here ya go

Parent tab name
 
<% If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > 0 Then
Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level - 1).TabName)
 End If %>

 Root level tabname

<% If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > 0 Then
Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabName)
End If %>
