The easiest javascript library to create custom tabs?

Question

I am interested in making a tab on the webpage I'm working on. I need to apply my own styles, so I would like to find a javascript library that provides very few styles out of the box and makes customization as simple as possible.

Features I would like:

• Specify the image used for the tab.
• Tabs can be changed to correct the text inside them.
• It’s relatively easy to apply my own styles.

I looked at the jQuery UI tab, but it seems that it would be too easy to apply my own styles if I do not use their tools for this.

I also reviewed jQuery Tools , which seemed a bit easier to set up, but seems to require you to use fixed-length images for tabs.

Can anyone recommend a good js library for creating custom tabbed navigation? I am just setting up the two above libraries higher than it should be?

Answer 1

This is a very simple walk to create custom tabs using jQuery, I followed it once and didn't use any other tabs, because:

I know that it may be tempting to use libraries often for something like that, but it’s very simple, and you will know everything about how they work, which will allow you to configure them much easier than almost other plugins.

With jQuery-UI you can easily change styles using css, you don't need any fancy tools ^ _ ^
