A Simple yet extendable jQuery tabs plugin that reformats existing html avoiding AJAX allowing for better SEO and easier implementation.
As of version 1.2.1 the generated HTML is fully HTML5 compliant. Legacy browser support is baked in for IE versions back to 7.
What is this useful for?
Any page were alot of information is required and broken down into sections using h2s, h3s, etc.
It was originally written to help improve the UI of product pages generated by the Shopp ecommerce plugin, but has turned into an overall nice solution.
