Content Tabs Demo¶
This page demonstrates advanced content tab implementations and interactive features.
Basic Tab Examples¶
Simple Information Tabs¶
What are Content Tabs?¶
Content tabs are a user interface element that allows you to organize related content into separate panels. Users can switch between panels by clicking on tab headers.
Key Benefits: - Save space by organizing related content - Improve user experience with focused content - Enable comparison between alternatives - Provide platform-specific instructions
How to Use Tabs¶
- Click on tab headers to switch content
- Keyboard navigation with arrow keys
- Linked tabs synchronize across the page
- Mobile friendly with swipe gestures
Common Use Cases¶
- Code examples in different languages
- Installation instructions for different platforms
- Configuration options for different environments
- API documentation with request/response examples
- Feature comparisons between different options

Interactive Tab Demo
This would be a live, interactive demonstration of tabs functionality.
// Interactive demo implementation
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const demoContainer = document.getElementById('interactive-demo');
const button = demoContainer.querySelector('button');
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
// Demo functionality
console.log('Interactive demo activated');
});
});
#interactive-demo {
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
color: white;
text-align: center;
}
#interactive-demo button {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
color: white;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
transform: translateY(-2px);
}
Best Practices Summary¶
Key Takeaways
- Use descriptive tab labels - Make it clear what each tab contains
- Limit the number of tabs - 2-5 tabs is optimal, 6-8 maximum
- Ensure mobile responsiveness - Test on different screen sizes
- Provide keyboard navigation - Support accessibility requirements
- Use consistent organization - Group related content logically
- Test thoroughly - Verify functionality across browsers
- Consider linked tabs - Synchronize related tab groups
- Add visual feedback - Clear active states and hover effects
