MGFX.Tabs

A simple to use Tabs plugin using MooTools. Uses your normal semantic mark-up, and only requires a single line to get your tabs going.

How to use

Write some semantic HTML that describes your buttons and panes:

#HTML
<ul id="tabs">
	<li><a class="tab" href="#" id="one">One</a></li>
	<li><a class="tab" href="#" id="two">Two</a></li>
	<li><a class="tab" href="#" id="three">Three</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="home">
	<div class="feature">
		<img src="img/mgfxtabs1.jpg" alt="" />
	</div>
	<div class="feature"">
		<img src="img/mgfxtabs2.jpg" alt="" />
	</div>
	<div class="feature">
		<img src="img/mgfxtabs3.jpg" alt="" />
	</div>
</div>

Invoke the constructor. The first argument is the tab buttons, the second argument is the tab panes. A third optional argument is a set of options to override the defaults.

#JS
var tabs = new MGFX.Tabs('#tabs li a', '#home .feature');
