Hi i am new to asp.net.
i am preparing an asp.net application which is of like this
it will have a webpage,which consists of multiple tabs
when i click on each tab it will display different information in the same webpage.

my problem is how to create a multiple tab webpage
is there any control available in asp.net?
or i need to download any third party tool?

thanks in advance
naresh

i dont know of any third party tabs but when i need tabs i use iframes. with a form for each page you want in each then use javascript to change the page.

there are tabs via asp.net controls, but they are for IE and do not work well in orther browsers. Your best bet, if you wish to use tabs, is to either use AJAX methods or plain old Javascript. This way the user downloads all the information in the tabs on the same page, and you use javascript to dynamically hide divs, enable other divs, and set certain colors accordingly. This is best for cross-browser compatability, but requires coding on your end. If you wish to use the IE way with asp.net, then you will need to use asp:Menu controls and asp:View controls. Otherwise, follow a demo here from 4guysfromrolla

Thanks a lot Fungus1487,SheSaidImaPregy .
SheSaidImaPregy had provided an example link which i had gone through i'll check it whether i can make it in similar fashion.

I created tab by combining Multiview and View

hi kusno

can you please send me if you have any example .
as
SheSaidImaPregy has given a link which has tabs vertical in a page .but i need to display in horizantal format similar to this link http://www.abb.com/

i am trying to modify the same thing what SheSaidImaPregy had sent hope it works.

My code is same as SheSaidImaPregy's link.

I use Anthem control, but you don't use Anthem, you could change it to ASP.Net control

<form runat="server' id="form1">
<table border="2" bordercolor="gray">

there seems to be alot of processing on the server to simly just change these pages why not use CSS css tabs with iframes then just load your aspx page into the iframe on tab change, not only would it be complient across all modern browsers but it would save pointless postbacks.

Makes you use multiple pages, but besides that, it is better to use the css tabs.
