CSS Examples CSS horizontal Tabs

Date: 10/08/2004 CSS horizontal Tabs

Author: CSS Drive/ Based on Eric's Meyer's Tab.

A horizontal tab interface that's extremely lightweight and scalable. Each tab is simply a list element and set to "display: inline" to cause it to align side by side instead of vertically.

The HTML:

<ul id="tablist">
<li><a class="current" href="http://www.cssdrive.com">CSS Drive</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.news.com">News.com</a></li>
</ul>

The CSS:

#tablist{
padding: 3px 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0.1em;
font: bold 12px Verdana;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}

#tablist li{
list-style: none;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
}

#tablist li a{
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 0.5em;
margin-right: 3px;
border: 1px solid #778;
border-bottom: none;
background: white;
}

#tablist li a:link, #tablist li a:visited{
color: navy;
}

#tablist li a:hover{
color: black;
background: lightyellow;
border-color: navy;
}

#tablist li a.current{
background: lightyellow;
}

Please check this code... I wanted 100% width tabs, this is not working good in different resolutions. If it works in 1024 x 768, it not working in IE with 1280 x 1024 resolution.

It will be great if you could give me the tutorial link for tabs as well as any example for shadowed ceter aligned CSS layout.

The problem is, middle container I want it as liquid. If only that was fixed and outer areas as liquid I wouldn't have faced these problems.

<!-- HTML Code -->
