Hi,
People have told me that some web pages they've seen have tabs across
their tops which are hypertext links. I can't see, so I'm not sure what
they're talking about.
Are these tabs some type of html element? How are they implemented?
Thanks,
Dan

No idea without seeing the page, but maybe they're using their web
browser's tabbed browsing features and it has nothing to do with HTML?

Unless they're tabbed browser windows as another poster suggested,
they're just some graphical decoration around a table row of
hyperlinks. The graphics between the table cells makes them look like
the tabs on physical files in a file drawer. One of the tabs
corresponds to the page you're currently on, and may not be a
hyperlink. It is usually highlighted somehow, and has no line
underneath it, making it contiguous with the rest of the page. Other
tabs have a line drawn underneath them, resembling files that are
behind.

Well,
as other posters have mentioned: there are two ways of implementing this ..
the old way (HTML 4.01) would have been to make a (nested) HTML table,
do all sorts of lay-out html tricks to make the page you are on appear
as a special tab with other colors etc .....
the other way to do this is by using (X)HTML and CSS ...
Then a good HTML programmer would use HTML lists and List items
(this is where the excellent reference http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ comes in !)
So the navigational links on top of the page would be modelled as a list
in HTML .. in CSS the designer then use CSS rules to make this list
appear as tabs.
This way of working is more compliant with the current webstandards ...
and pages built this way *should* be more easy to read in browsers on
PDA (palm, pocket PC, ..), text only browsers, and browsers for the
blind and badsighted
hope this helped

Hello,
I have a main form that is maximized when my application loads; this

of removing them from the Windows taskbar, which makes navigating

Hi.
I am building a bit of a "learn-as-you-go" web site.
I have tabs that change based on what page the

the user is on and, then, provide the correct tabs.
This depends on a normal URL, such as http://www.mysite.com/index.html.
