the tabs don't seem to work in any browser. i only tried ie8 for the styles, and while they are impressive they definitely lack polish. for instance, when enabled a border-bottom is added to each tab that shouldn't be there.

this is a tough problem and css pie could potentially be useful but i think it needs

a) polish b) a bit more customizability

before it's production ready. good start though.

Thanks for the feedback! This demo isn't intended to be functional (clicking the tabs won't do anything, that requires JavaScript code which is out of scope for this demo), it's just there to show an example of how you could style things using CSS3.

I can verify there is a bug in IE8 where there is an extra gray line at the bottom of the active tab. I will attempt to fix that ASAP. It works properly in IE6 and IE7.

Thanks again.

In IE6, here, there's a big gap (~1em) between the tabs and the content.

I'm on a public computer though, with an old IE6 version (6.0.2900.2180, XP SP2) infected by the Babylon toolbar.

Hmm, interesting, I wasn't seeing that a minute ago. My bad. I'll try to fix both bugs tonight. Thanks for the feedback!
