[CSS] Quick help pls!! What is the best way to do tabs
Old 2008-03-28

Hello Ultrashockerz,
I would like your best opinions on the best practical solution for CSS tabs.

The solution i have used so far is by using iFrames to load the tab content.

This works well, and i 'think' from a programming stand-point, it's effective.. but the only problems i forsee are extra http requests (there may be 2-3 tabs on a page, that could mean up to 4 http requests!), and is it cpu intensive having iFrames?
would the extra http requests slow down loading times? or bog down the servers?


if there are other practical tab solutions for dynamic content please inform me!

Jerome

Edit: Oh yes, and the content in each iFrame would have to communicate, so that would be unnecessary javascript?

Obviously, the best solution depends on the problem. What sort of content is it? Why is it tabbed in the first place? What do you mean by "dynamic"? How much content are you putting on each tab? Is there some reason the tabs can't be separate pages?

When you ask for help, it's more constructive to include a URL that demonstrates your specific problem. A vague request for "opinions on the best practical solution" for something doesn't give us much to work with.
