Sometimes using tabs just makes a lot of sense. For instance, if you have a limited amount of screen real estate, tabs can allow you to save room by giving the user a way to toggle between several items in a small space. And to take your tabs a step further, you can throw jQuery into the mix for some nice transition and animation effects. If you’ve yet to build a tab navigation with jQuery, here are 11 tutorials and plugins to help you get going.

Nice examples, but .tabs() can do more! For example, on one of my websites (https://www.678voli.it/), I implemented on the homepage a “Latest Articles” section (similar to “Feature List”) that presents the last 4 news&photos in a very user friendly way, by using .tabs(). The news rotate every 10 seconds and the user can check it/stop the animation by simply moving the mouse over any news tab.
If you like it, you may consider adding it to your list 😉

The feature list site is down (https://jqueryglobe.com/article/feature-list), does anyone have another link where the files exist. I would be grateful if you re-post it.
Thank you in advance.
Beautiful! Thanks!
Pretty nice, but most tab systems should actually create a hash so that any tab can be directly linked to. Why make a user come to page “X” then, click say the fourth tab when it should be hotlinked so it would be: http://www.something.com/#fourth or whatever for bookmarking and sharing.
Kindly add left side jQuery tab navigation menu also. Thanks for sharing.
