Looking to implement a basic tab menu using a combination of tables and div elements. The goal is to have the tabs switch styles when clicked, giving the appearance of being toggled, while also swapping out the corresponding content in separate div blocks by manipulating the CSS properties (display:block and display:none). This functionality behaves as expected in Firefox; however, in IE 11, there seems to be an issue with the sizing of the tabs when they are switched.
For reference, here is the page: Tab Example
function tabClick(tab, bodyId) {
// arrays for tabs and bodies
var tabCol = [document.getElementById('tab1'), document.getElementById('tab2'), document.getElementById('tab3')];
var bodyCol = [document.getElementById('body1'), document.getElementById('body2'), document.getElementById('body3')];
for (var i = 0; i < tabCol.length; i++) {
// identify the clicked tab and update its status
if (tab === tabCol[i]) {
tabCol[i].className = 'tabSel';
} else {
tabCol[i].className = 'tabUnsel';
}
// show the selected body and hide the rest
if (bodyCol[i].id == bodyId) {
bodyCol[i].style.display = 'block';
} else {
bodyCol[i].style.display = 'none';
}
}
}.tabUnsel:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
.tabUnsel {
text-align: center;
vertical-align: central;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
white-space: nowrap;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: #898c95 solid 1px;
border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
}
.tabSel {
text-align: center;
vertical-align: central;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: #898c95 solid 1px;
border-bottom: 0;
border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
