11 Applying the CSS Tabs to 'active' tabs

im working on this project using a design that for the time is close to another site the customer likes (it will change) i am using a single page to deliver reports which are accessed using display:block/none to hide the elements and wondered if anyone would give me a hand applying the Alist method into this design?

12 Outstanding...

Well worth the wait for the new ALA. Simply amazing. Great stuff, and you can be rest assured, I will be stealing that CSS. =)

13 Another take on Eric Meyer

Good expansion on a technique that Eric wrote about here: http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/rounding-tabs/

Thanks

14 Just a quick question

Aren’t floated elements supposed to be given an explicit width and height as per W3C specs?

The technique is great.

15 hip hip

Hooray!

I am glad ALA is back. Great beginnings and congrats to all.

Another fine example of some of the hardest working ppl in the community.

Now… if we could just get the browser(s) (IE!!) vendors to get CSS nailed so the hacks wouldn’t be necessary.

16 Must look good in IE -- because it doesn't show in

Don’t know what else to say. Likely, it’s due to Firebird and not Doug’s coding.

17 Re. Firebird

Works fine over here using Firebird 0.6.1

18 doesn't work in Mozilla 1.3 on Linux

The examples of the effect are completely invisible, only see white space. Will check on Mozilla on other platforms.

19 Safari bug (major)

In Apple’s Safari, the new tabs don’t appear. At all—there’s simply a blank space where the tabs are supposed to be. This is too bad, because this seems like a great technique—I wouldn’t have minded a minor cosmetic problem, but having it go totally invisible makes this a no-go for me: that’s not particularly accessible.

20 No Image?

Anyone else missing the example image at the top of the article?

I am, both on Zeldman and on ALA. A right click revealed it so it is there…
