Tabion setup is done.
Section 2: Tabion HTML Structure.
This section should be read along with the example files also contained in the download package.
A Simple Tabion Structure:
<!-- START TABION --> <ul class="tabion"> <!-- Start Tab Area 1 --> <li> <input type="radio" name="tabion" id="tab1"> <div> <!-- Start Tab Button --> <label for="tab1" class="tabtile"> <i class="font-icon-class"></i> <span>Tab Title</span> </label> <!-- End Tab Button --> <!-- Start Tab Content --> <div class="tab-content"> // Add Tab Content Here </div> <!-- End Tab Content --> </div> </li> <!-- End Tab Area 1 --> </ul> <!-- END TABION -->
Important Note: Every Tab Button must have a hidden input to control the tab content. When a label with [for=”tab-id”] is clicked the hidden input [id=”tab-id”] will be checked then the tab content will be displayed.
To decorate the tab button and tab content you can add some classes like background, shadowhover, text color, position classes,… into the Label tag and Tab Conent div tag. You will see a lot of options in the CSS file. Please read demo files for more detail.
To set a default tab content will displayed first you just add “checked” into the hidden input of this tab. In IE8, the plugin always set the first tab content as the default content and display it initially.
Limitation: Tabion must be set height value when it is displayed on large screens (like desktop/laptop).
