The tab control found at the bottom of many programs such as html editors was an interesting item that cuaght my curiosity. I was working on a project that would do very well to use it.
Each tab is made of several span tags. once clicked, it comes over top of the other layers by changing the z-index. This control also uses the windows system colors to appear as if it is an active-x control and seemlessly integrate into the users color scheme.
The scriptlet raises a "Click" event and passes the text of the tab that was clicked. Tabs can be added dynamically (see the demo page).

Great script. A question, if I may. How do you link the tab to an URL? Can you also add alt tags to tab? Thanks in advance, Lance (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great Code But how do you link URL's or webpages to the tabs so when you click it goes to that page??? Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

This looks very promising for something I have in mind, but like others that have posted here have asked. I am uncertain how to link a webpage to a tab. Is it possible without totally rewriting it? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

As with others shown above, I am having trouble linking url's to the onClick event without generating errors. I'm sure it's a simple matter - but I haven't found it yet.
A simple working example from any who've succeeded would be great.
Sadly, there has been NO RESPONSE to any of these requests and the www.lewismoten.com page NEVER comes up. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
