Forum:Tabber questions

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to format the tabs generated by the tabber code, so that I can change things like color and justification? I'm also wondering if there's a way to link to a specific tab in the tabber code? If it has to be done on the custom Monaco style sheet, (if it can be done at all that is), then I'll probably have to forget about it for now, since I'm still in the learning stages of the code right now and that's way beyond me. If you need to see my wiki for this, it's at http://dotd.wikia.com/. -- Jakk Frost 05:44, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can change the justification of the tabs by putting them inside a div with a different alignment, like this:


 * You can also change the style of the inner text the same way. (For example, in the tabs above I made it red.) However, to change the style of the text in the tab names, or to change the background color, you would need to edit that wiki's Monaco.css. Don't be afraid of it though; it's actually quite simple compared to other types of code. If you know how to give styles to tables it isn't much of a step up from that. The default style of the tabs is basically this:


 * If you want to practice making CSS styles, you can test them out in your personal Monaco.css, which is here: User:Jakk_Frost/monaco.css ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 09:12, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks for all that. I suppose on my site I should have linked a page that already has tabs, lol. This page (and I literally just learned how to make that link from you, thank you, hehe) is incomplete as far as content, but it's the most complete of my tabbed pages. I was hoping to get the tabs to match the Monaco theme (that really should be done by default), but the tables I have in the tabber are as far as I've gotten in learning the wikia code. I couldn't have done that 3-4 days ago, and while I hope to edit the .css soon, I'm not quite ready yet, even just in the practice sheet, largely because I assume I'd have to do it for the whole look, can't just customize one thing at a time. Thanks for the code though, when I get the nerve to try it, that will be a huge help! -- Jakk Frost 16:21, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
