Uuups, thank you :-)! I I haven't yet time enough to test it but I will.

Okay, that's what I thought before.

Hm, I see the problem. A solution I can imagine is to create the first
parent elements ("Methodenhandbuch" in this example) as tabs and let them
point to serveral index.html.
But, sure, this would mean that every tab corresponds to a subdirectory of
its own where the above mentioned index.html is located.
