I have atabbed menu bar and would like to connect (.html) webpages to each tab.
This is how the code looks like;
XML
<div class="tabber">
     <div class="tabbertab">
      <h2>Private Universities</h2>
      <p>Tab 1 content.</p>
     </div>
     <div class="tabbertab">
      <h2>Government Universities</h2>
      <p>Tab 2 content.</p>
     </div>
     <div class="tabbertab">
      <h2>Private & Goverment Polytechnics</h2>
      <p>Tab 3 content.</p>
     </div>
      <div class="tabbertab">
      <h2>Other Institutions</h2>
      <p>Tab 4 content.</p>
     </div>

</div>


Little Javascript in the html Page
XML
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<style type="text/css">.tabber{display:none;}<\/style>');

This is the javascript
function tabberObj(argsObj)

Actually, the javascript is good and working...I just want to add link to each tab bar.

Your "Javascript code" is really difficult to read, Kindly use proper indentation.

Hi WajihaAhmed,

Below is the link for detailed description of the JavaScript code -

Hi Eric,

Your tabber.js JavaScript is designed for displaying HTML contents only. It will require major changes to implement your requirement. I would suggest you better switch to some alternate tab view, that provides you adding a link.

If you still want to go with this one, you will need to either incorporate AJAX to load html web page for each tab, or else, you need to reload the page every time a tab is getting clicked, and also to pass the selected tab index as parameter.
