    Hi guys,

    I'd like some help implementing this tabber script.
    I tried, but I can't understand how to use it.
    http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/
    Can someone please show me what code one would use for this?

    Thanks,
    -Tony

    the code is quite straight forward it explains in detail how to use it but for someone to do this script from scratch requires them to have basic knowledge of file structures and editing of html and javascript , also take in mind how big the page you want it on if huge amount of html code in it then be a major headache converting it all.

    I tried to upload their example (see their download tab) to my site and test it, and it didn't work.
    That's why I'm confused.
    Is anyone else having that problem?

    Thanks,
    -Tony

    "Didn't work" doesn't tell us much. What did happen and what didn't happen? Specifically. When you debugged the page (if you don't know how to do that, please hire a web developer, since nothing we can tell you is going to help you), were there Javascript errors? If so, specifically what, on which line?

    It was really weird. It worked fine, error console in Chrome (latest version) had nothing.
    No JS errors.
    I used the example provided at http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/.
    The page looked like it rendered perfectly, but when I clicked on a different tab in the tabber, nothing happened.
    Any thoughts, anybody?

    Thanks,
    -Tony

    Breakpoint the Javascript in Firebug. See what's actually happening.

    Sorry for asking what's probably an obvious question (I'm a beginner!), but what breakpointing?
    And also, will Firebug Lite for Chrome work, or should I install firefox?

    Thanks,
    -Tony

    Firebug Light will probably work, although I only use Firefox to debug code. Breakpointing means to set a breakpoint at one line of the code. From there you can single step or run to other breakpoints you've set, to see the flow of the code (so you know, for example, which branch of an 'if' statement was taken).

    I don't know how to breakpoint code.
    I don't really understand your explaination of what it does.
    Sorry.

    Which is why I said, "if you don't know how to do that, please hire a web developer, since nothing we can tell you is going to help you". If you're not a programmer, you can't debug a program.

    You can give a link to your site for somebody who wants will be be able to give it a look... I had the same problem with a tabber plugin in wordpress and the problem in my case was java script conflict with some other plugin. You don't provide enough info for anybody to help you.

    Sorry... I redid it, and who knows why, but it works now.
    Sorry I wasted your time... I am a programmer, but a beginner.
    I'm building my first site right now, and I know HTML, CSS, and some PHP and Javascript, but I am also learning as I go along.

    Sorry again for frustrating you guys and wasting your time.
