Tabs in JQuery are quite simple to implement, and they add some neat functionality that users will appreciate.
Tabs are a nice way to separate content logically. Without using tabs one often ends up with a single huge form that contains too many fields for a user to process properly.
In some cases users dislike the idea of tabs but it’s really just a matter of preference and getting used to them. And I’m sure that given the choice between a huge single form and a series of logically separated tabs, most users would agree that the tabs option is easiest wo work with.
The basic structure of a tabbed user interface using JQuery UI sets up the tabs horizontally across the top of the Web page going left to right. The tabs are provided to JQuery within an unordered list that is encapsulated within a ‘tabs’ div that the programmer specifies.
Although this may sound somewhat convoluted, its really quite simple. For starters, let’s say we are going to name our main <div tag ‘tabs’.
I’ve been trying out the HTML5 Canvas element and its 2d rendering context to get a general feel for the functionality it adds and what purposes (if any) it could serve for Web-application development.
So far I like how straightforward working with the HTML5 canvas element actually is. One can use either JQuery or JavaScript to do the coding, which I find very intuitive. The syntax and style of describing the graphics reminds me a lot of the days of plotting shapes and points on my Apple IIe using Applesoft BASIC, and then later on a PC using Microsoft’s QBasic.
The difference, of course, is that the canvas element is rendered by the Web browser, and unfortunately HTML5 is still not uniformly supported between the various browsers and browser versions.
