[Title should have been - css and javascript expert needed ]

Does anyone know how to make tabs like this using nothing but html ???

Thanks for any help!

I have found this tutorial but am unable to get it to work. I don't suppose someone can help me out by putting it alltogether

OK !!!

So, I have managed to make a stylesheet like this, but how do I make it like this!

Somebody please help

Hi Jen,

I believe your best resource would be the W3 school's CSS tutorial.

Hope this helps,

you can take a look at what i've used for a certain faq i have...

Hi

Thanks for the replies and help.

I seem to be having a problem which I think is javascript related, so any javascript experts, please help

The problem is, that I cant seem to get javascript to:

1. chance the colour of the tab when it has been clicked, so it stays the same colour as when the mouse is hovering over it.
2. change the z order so the tab comes infront of the border, so it looks like its 1 thing.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

edit - you can download the menu from here - www16.brinkster.com/jennyjenx/latesttabs/tabbed%20menu.rar, if it doesn't work, just copy and past the address into your browsers address bar.

thanks again.

[edit - if you dont understand, please read this small section about it.]

it is not a special css or javascript feature. the "normal" way is that you create to html sites. on the first page tab one is for example white and the other tabs are gray. on the second page the second tab is white and the other tabs are gray. have a look on apple.com to understand what i mean. the tabs on this site are using images to take this effect.

usually this different html pages are not coded by hand. modern websites or portal sites are organized in php projects with content managment system and templates for the main_layout for example. this means that you build the main site by hand and use variables like {TAB_ONE_COLOR} which will be replaced by a php script for each site.

hope you understand what i mean.

IC, didn't realise they were doing it like that! thanks

people often use css layers or javascript/dom to implement simple grafic effects. the same issue with mysql databases. often people use a complete database with strange login features where a simple text_file would more than enough. you can even save user/password combinations encrypted in a simple text_file for a login scenario for example. but people seems to like it complex

I finally got it to work. But there is still a problem. When I resize the window, the tabs start to "wrap". Does anyone know how to stop this from happening ???

never mind, i got it to work
