dhtmlxTabbar is a JavaScript tabbar control for creating dynamic tabbed-navigation interface. This Ajax-enabled UI component lets you add feature-rich and nice looking tabs to your site or web application.

The control can be easily initialized on a web page that makes building of DHTML tabbed interface a breeze. Just assign any elements on your page (for example, DIVs) to the tabs of the Tabbar, and it will automatically do all the work for you - the component will switch these elements, displaying them by clicking on the corresponding tab.

Live demo

Tabs can be left, right, top or bottom aligned. You can define tabs appearance according to different visual styles (predefined or your own). Cross-browser compatible, XML driven, fully configurable, with rich javascript API, dhtmlxTabbar provides a simple but powerful solution for building client-side navigation. Together with other dhtmlx components: dhtmlxTree, dhtmlxGrid/TreeGrid, dhtmlxMenu, and dhtmlxToolbar - it constitutes ready to use basis for any AJAX driven web based application. Since v2.5 dhtmlxTabbar not only provides a single command integration with other DHTMLX components, but also offers unified API similar to other container components (e.g. layout, accordion, etc.) for adding/removing objects into the tabs. Besides, version 2.5 introduces better performance due to the decreased number of loaded images.
