In modern web applications you often need to make something visually appealing and without using something like Flash, the best thing for this is Javascript. There are a variety of frameworks available these days that enable a huge amount of visually impressive tricks ? from animating content to organising it. This is the first of a series of articles showing how to use these frameworks to make your application a better place ? Tabs using JQuery.
The other day I needed to create a block (or widget) with tabs, so I started checking different jQuery based tab solutions but they were all very large for what I needed. Most of the jQuery based tabs I found had a lot of functionalities to fulfill everything you need, but they end up being quite large, bloated and complex. I wrote this small jQuery dependant code to create my own tabs widget and thought you could find it useful.
In this JQuery tutorial we will develop a program to make Fade Effect tabs 
A couple weeks ago, I made this pull out slider thing using jQuery. (people use them as feedback tabs) I decided to try making it into a plugin for jQuery and here it is. Use it for creating a feedback form, contact info, or any content which is revealed using a sliding animation by clicking on a tab. Not sure how to describe it, check out the example.
The jQuery tabs is a nice plugin. But depending on how creative your site is and how aesthetic it?s function needs to be, a lot of times you?re not going to use it as is because it simply looks like a developer designed the tabs. So, to pretty up the tabs, you can simply set the images and then when you click just change out the image to show an active image using jQuery selectors.
