I must say that the Tab Container is the best invention since the Peperoni Pizza. This little container has a powerful and unlimited array of uses. I have been using my simple slider for advertizing and linking to other parts of our site, but it does drag it down with a lot of coding and load time. With the Tab Container i now can make categories for our village resources and just place a simple link without any extra coding. Less coding the better.
This is just a simple simple example what i use the Tab Container for. Although i am removing the code for the slider i am adding this easy and attractive vertical tabs that John Bizley's made that you can get HERE.
Because what ever content you add there will always be an open tab with content, so to make my container look closed i just added an HTML box and uploaded a 1x1 px transparent pic and titled the tab Select Category or you can just type a small message that would describe your content subject in the blank area you see here.
Here is my selected tab with my content and a link to my parts page. So why don't i fill just one box with all the links and parts descriptions? Because i don't want my box to be any longer on my page than shown here. It keeps my subjects clean and organized as the Tab Container was intended to be. If you don't want your box to expand down when you select a category just omit the Select Category tab and have an active tab open all the time, but make sure each content is the same size.

i skipped the webkit stuff for the sake of speed while on a roll cioding and had to remember in the morn to go back and do it..was surprised how much coding i did overnight
check out ww3.dreadlockssite.com tab containers instead of just verticle went 2 collums verticle (with the most subtle lil "slide out" effect on tab change ..i mean like 1 or 2 px maybe 3 over a 3 sec transition ..very slight subtle effect but liked how it worked out
used most heavily on the community page
Just wondering if you can help me out... I've been playing around with these codes (and I am awful at css) but when I implement them the boxes actually move around once you click them. Is there a way to stop that? Lol!! Thanks so much
In my 2.0 network, I had a RSS feed wall that I made using Google Sites which operated like this:
Now in 3.0, i no longer need the hacked Gsites embed and have been moving those feeds to tabs like so:
Tabbed RSS Feeds in 3.0
this is just one of the ways I am using the tabs.. hope this helps.. [NOTE: my network is private presently, but i made this page available for you to view as an example.]
