tinytabs — Javascript lib for tabbed UIs

tinytabs is a tiny (1.3 KB minified) Javascript tabbing library. Zero dependencies. All you need is a few layers in a container layer, and bam, tabbed interface. If Javascript is not enabled, it degrades nicely too.

Example code

HTML

Include the CSS file

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tinytabs.css" />

Then

<div id="mytabs">
	<div class="section" id="music">
		<h3 class="title">Music</h3>
		Content here
	</div>
	<div class="section" id="videos">
		<h3 class="title">Videos</h3>
		Content
	</div>
</div>

Javascript

// With options.
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(e) { 
  tinytabs(document.querySelector("#mytabs"), {
    anchor: true,
    hideTitle: false
  });
});

// Without options.
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(e) { 
  tinytabs(document.querySelector("#mytabs"));
});

Options

anchor	true (default) or false If enabled, when a tab is clicked, it's id is set in url's hashtag so that the tab is retained on page reloads. Also enables linking to a tab directly. Eg: http://kailashnadh.name/tinytabs#tab-example
hideTitle	true (default) or false Hide the title element within section elements.
sectionClass	Section element's class. Default is section.
tabsClass	Tab (ul) container's class. Default is tabs.
tabClass	Individual tab's (li) class. Default is tab.
titleClass	Title element's tag. Default is title.
before	function(id, tab). Callback function that gets evaluated before a tab is activated. The first arg is the id of the tab and the second is the DOM element of the tab.
after	function(id, tab). Callback function that gets evaluated after a tab is activated. The first arg is the id of the tab and the second is the DOM element of the tab.
