- lerchmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Thank you so much, Ive been looking long and hard for a script like this, and the other 900 million scripts that do the exact same thing with less code just were too simple and fast for what I needed.
- zirtbow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Posting AJAX scripts off dynamic drive?... now thats 'digg'ing deep for content.
- lerchmo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Dynamic drive is the all time greatest source of mouse trails and javascript snowflakes on the entire interweb.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I detect sarcasm..

Nothing impressive.. also, the content of the already loaded tabs should be cached with something like:
if ( !tab[3].loaded ){
performAjaxRequest()
}else{
tab[3].loaded = true;
stopWastingBandwidth("Move along folks; there's nothing to see here");
} - mephitix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Seems like it's making a query everytime you hit a tab button. You can even hit the same tab button and it queries the server, for no reason. A good first pass, but that's sort of inefficient... a better tab system would involve "caching" the content -- i put it in quotes because all it really amounts to is just not querying the server if the data has been loaded into its respective div.
- KicktheDonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you need to do something like this, use the Ajax.Updater method in prototype:

Much, much easier - cbeach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Back button doesn't work. Hard to navigate your website. Google doesn't index your content. Lose users out of frustration and poor search performance
- kaniz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This strikes me as 'using Ajax just for the sake of using Ajax' -- why not just load all of the content at once instead of doing multiple hits to the server? I'm sure there are some situations in which the content you are calling may change and 'need' to be dynamic, but more often then not - this just seems like its making unneeded calls to the server just for the sake of being 'Ajax' and not really adding anything useful.

- gekkokid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2the tabs look awful
- smarusich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1not that impressed.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I much prefer Dojo's implementation of tabs. Just as simple, just as fast but it also supports a ultra easy implementation of subtabs on any of the main tabs.
- gekkokid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what do you mean roll?
- starheinz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This should be established by now: AJAX is not for navigation.
- chickenpants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why use ajax for this? i mean maybe if the content were drawn from a database and likely to change, sure.. but as it stands, this could just as easily be done using just css and hiding/showing divs using minimal javascript.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1now can you make it roll like the new Yahoo 2.0 site?
- gregnicer2, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0Ok, I'm a newby to the world of scripting and design. I am putting together a coldfusion page in Dreamweaver, and I want to use the tab content script for my page. How do I implement the tab content script onto the page? Should I simply do a cfinclude after I have saved the files in my root folder? Or are there more complex steps that I have to take?
"G" - jgeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Аor JSP programming check out this Ajax panel:

- tigi2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great script and great documentation. It took for me 1 hour to implement my image galleries.
The only thing I would doubt is "all pages are Fully unobtrusive, search engine friendly".
You can not set meta tags for your external pages.
So I have added direct links to the pages.
Image galleries with Ajax Tabs Content script:
