ajaxToolkit:TabPanel 1

[ersachinjain]

Hi

I am designing a web page and I am trying to include a tab panel in it. I have used css for it and I have made customized tabs with colors and fonts etc. i want to design those tabs so that they look impressive and a little flashy. like right now they are pretty straight forward. If any one has some ways of doing it please do let me know.

thanks

That is a design question, not an asp.net question. You could try posting in the CSS forum.

Thanks.

So you mean its only css by virtue of which i can change the way tabs would look.

visual webcontrols have a CssClass property, you can use this to set the class for the control. once the control has a class defined, you can use CSS to define what that class looks like.

webforms also has the concept of Themes and Skins. The most I would use them for is globally setting the CssClass property on webcontrols.

as an example of what's possible with CSS and clean html markup I recommend a list apart and jquery's theme roller.

Thanks a lot jmeckley. This was a great help.

one thing to note: webform controls (beyond, lable, textbox, dropdown, etc.) produces some horrendous markup so CSS can be a daunting task. a while back there was a project on codeplex called [link cssfriendly.codeplex.com]CssFriendlyAdapters[/url] which produced cleaner markup for CSS styling. Not sure the state of the project, but if you run into nasty markup it may help.
