I am facing a CSS challenge that has got me stumped. I'm not even sure if it's achievable. Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
There are three buttons/tabs displayed like this . When a tab is clicked, a different div should be shown for each tab, similar to these examples: or .
I know how to use jQuery to show/hide the divs, but the issue arises when the divs increase in height as seen here: . This causes them to push the other tabs and divs down. Is there a workaround for this problem?
I'm not proficient in CSS, so if you have an example or code snippet to share with me, I would greatly appreciate it!
Here is the HTML markup I'm using for my tabs:
<div class="MainContent">Content</div>
<div class="TabsHolder">
<div id="Tab1">
<div style="width:200px">
Content Tab 1
</div>
</div>
<a class="Button1" href="#Tab1"></a>
<div class="clearer"></div>
<div id="Tab2">
<div style="width:200px">
Content Tab 2
</div>
</div>
<a class="Button2" href="#Tab2"></a>
</div>
CSS:
.MainContent {
float: left;
}
.TabsHolder
{
float: left;
}
.Button1
{
float: left;
margin: 100px 0px 20px 0px;
background: url(images/Button1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 79px;
width: 27px;
}
#Tab1
{
width: 200px;
margin: 80px 0px 20px 0px;
border: solid 1px #ACCD45;
position: relative;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}
.Button2
{
float: left;
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
background: url(images/Button2.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 97px;
width: 27px;
}
#Tab2
{
width: 200px;
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
border: solid 1px #ACCD45;
position: relative;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}
div.clearer
{
clear: both;
margin: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding: 0px;
line-height: 0px;
height: 0px;
width: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
