Preserved Topic: TabPage effect (Page 1 of 1)

I'm not an experience designer...

Can i make a TabPage alike in DHTML ?

-=l=-

yes.
just use DHTML.
DHTML is not one language.
DHTML is the clever manipulation and juggling of at least 3 different languages at the same time: Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and ECMA Script (JavaScript). Some people also like to throw in VB Script...but normally this is only used on the server side.
This is a VERY simple explanation...not to be taken as absolute, unbending truth. Simply a rough guide to point you in the right direction.

HTML--this provides all of the pieces of your web page. Text, graphics, animation, tables, audio, etc.

CSS--Tells all of those pieces WHERE they should be on the page, and WHAT they should look like. Obviously, that second part doesn't really apply to images, but one would use CSS to define FONTS and COLORS and VISIBILITY, and many other things.

Script--this is used to manipulate CSS, thus you are allowed to DYNAMICALLY change the look of the HTML page.

There you have it...DHTML.

So, you wanna put tabs on your page. OK, first thing I would recommend is get really comfortable with HTML and CSS. Next go get yourself a good JavaScript book (Wrox, O'Reilly) and start to learn the syntax. Start tearing apart other people's script. View Source a lot.
This is not something that you will just do and then go live tomorrow. Some people go to school 4 yrs to learn to do the really sophisticated stuff. I've devoted the last yr of my life to learning Web programming. Take it slow, bring us more questions.
Now, go find somebody's page that you would like to imitate, view source and tear their code apart line by line until you understand why every single character is there. Then write your own.
Good luck.

Lallous, take a look at this, it may help you with the coding stuff: http://www.max.co.yu/ozone/multi_divs.html

mr. Max, yes i know how to manipulate layers (hide, show, move, ...)
I just don't know to make the good CSS to make the design look like Window's TabPage control...
Like the selected Page title (or button) is in the front while the rest of the pages are normal and so on...

Simply said, you'll have to draw tabs (i.e. gif images) by youself (CSS can't help you very much, especially if you want to make your page cross-browser compatible)...
