Thanks for the feedback
I still think it could be improved in what html/css is concerned… For instance, I had to remove the “clear:both” entries of the css to use it in a site im working…
besides, sometimes the linehight gets a little different, and its still looking different in ie…
if any of you guys feel that you can improve this, please do
cheers

Yes, it’s looking different in IE due to your conditional comment which addresses IE6 only.
If you had put a display:block and float:left in the css by standard as suggested there won’t any problems at all. Firefox doesn’t have any problems with float:left; … I am using it this way and it works perfect.

I gave up on making IE6 users (and good old Bill) happy, as a matter of fact, I installed This neat plugin

Thanks Leo, I really like this useful plugin.
Great work,

leo it would be nicer if you change the java script function to php scripting. i refer to the tabs links. instead of javascript:tabsshow(0,1) it would be nicer a §ion=tab_name near the ?p=1.
dar3devil,
Im thinking about it.. but it has 2 issues…
one is that people use different kinds of permalink..
other is when you are not ina single page, but in a archive.. and you may have more than one post with tabs appearing on the page…
The nice thing I want (suggestion of a user) is the ability yo have a perma link for a post with an specific tab opened.
thinking about it
it’s doesn’t matter the permalink. you just query the normally link with ?p=number_of_post because when user have set to use different permalink, it goes automatically to that permalink. i tried this in a flash presentation and putted the link for ?p=id for the page or article i wanted and it’s working.
The other issue about more than one post with tabs appearing on a single page, it’s better for those to display the tabs after the <-! more !-> tag. Then it will be no problems using this thing.
About the thing you want, if you should make this one work, then it work also the ability fir having a permalink to a post with a specific tab opened, because when you will change the javascript function with the php one it will be so easily to put link to http://blogname/category/post/tab. set this in settings. i tried this with an multipost number plugin and when i go to page 3 of the post it’s redirecting me to http://blogname/category/post/number_of_page. So i’m assuming that it will work for postTabs too.
ok.. almost there, but I still dont have the full picture in mind because:
. I dont want the whole page to reload when you click on a tab. I like it the way it is, hiding and displaying divs.
.. by the way, the next feature Im planning is to detect if there are any images inside a hidden tab and pre-load it.
The permalink should be a option so one can bookmark a page with a tab opened or send by email… publish it somewhere, etc…
So my questino now is not how to make it work. But how to present it to the user… where exactly he/she would pick this link up to send to someone…?
still thinking
i know it’s nicer the way it is by hiding/displaying divs, but more improved SEO by reloading the page. and so it’s easier for the user to take de url from the navigation bar of the IE/Opera/Firefox.
another option is to let how it is and modify in javascript function when clicking a tab to go to post_permalink/#tab_name. look for an example on http://www.sunsean.com/idTabs/ when clicking a tab it goes to …/#home or …/#usual. It’s an option, and this also is more improved SEO than the way it is now postTabs.
and other thing. it should be nice if you could make a function that make a button unavailable and have an lower opacity. That through a function called “disable_on();” or something, in the content of the tab that we want it disabled. just an opinion 😉
Hi guys,
just relesead a new version!
many fixes, improved CSS and new features.
You can see the new features in this announcement: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/
Ive put a lot of though on the permalink issue..
First I tried the #target style of tabs, but it does not work with ie6…
My decision was to make this an option, wether the user wants to use only hide-show divs or to have a permalink for each tab.
The plugin also sets a cookie now that (if you are not using a permalink) remembers wich tab was opened when you reload the page.
well. please give it a try. Im waiting the feedback of everyone on these new features… Im wondering if the options page is to confusing now.. specially because of my english. If anyone can help with that, I apreciate..
cheers
Leo,,
thanks leo very much. it’s better than the first one. Congratulations. You made it 😉
leo, other question how to make the permalinks nicer? instead numbers to use title of the tab.
