About the Tabbed Panels widget
A Tabbed Panels widget is a set of panels that can store content in a compact space. Site viewers hide or reveal the content stored in the Tabbed
Panels by clicking the tab of the panel they want to access. The panels of the widget open accordingly as the visitor clicks different tabs. In a
Tabbed Panels widget, only one content panel is open at a given time. The following example shows a Tabbed Panels widget, with the third panel
open:
A. Tab B. Content C. Tabbed Panels widget D. Tabbed panel
The HTML code for the Tabbed Panels widget comprises an outer div tag that contains all of the panels, a list for the tabs, a div to contain the
content panels, and a div for each content panel. The HTML for the Tabbed Panels widget also includes script tags in the head of the document
and after the Tabbed Panel widget’s HTML markup.
