I am writing this tutorial for myself really because I need to reference this. This is a place for me to do that in a single place.
Add this in the <head> tag:
Add this in the page you wish the tabs to be in:
And finally add this to the CSS document:
Add this in the <head> tag:
<script type="text/javascript"src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//Default Action
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all content
$("ul.tabs li:first").addClass("active").show(); //Activate some tab
$(".tab_content:first").show(); //Show some tab content
//On Click Event
$("ul.tabs li").click(function() {
$("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active"); //Remove any "active" class
$(this).addClass("active"); //Add "active" class to selected tab
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all tab content
var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); //Find the rel attribute value to identify the active tab + content
$(activeTab).show(); //Fade in the active content
return false;
});
});
</script>
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!-- Define Tabs --> <ul class="tabs"> <li><a href="#one">Tab 1</a></li> <li><a href="#two">Tab 2</a></li> <li><a href="#three">Tab 3</a></li> <li><a href="#four">Tab 4</a></li> </ul> <!-- Tab Content --> <div class="tab_container"> <div id="one" class="tab_content"> Test on one </div> <div id="two" class="tab_content"> Test on two </div> <div id="three" class="tab_content"> Test on three </div> <div id="four" class="tab_content"> Test on four </div> </div>
