One reason I like to use <iframe> elements for tab content is because you can set their height & width to "100%", and the size of the frame will automatically adjust to the size of their container, whatever that may be. That was one reason for my putting a vertical splitter bar in my sample. It added a temptation to see the effect of resizing left and right panels by dragging one way or the other. Tab content automatically resizes, and the position of horizontal tabs automatically adjust themselves to fit their container. I haven't seen that type of behavior in any other HTML based tab sample, and I wondered if anyone would notice. Oh well, maybe it wasn't that impressive.
Other tab samples I've seen have used HTML <div> tags for tab content, instead of <iframe> tags. I also wondered if anyone would question that? Under my interface an <iframe> is automatically generated when a tab is added to a container. That's been nagging me for a while. It seems that I'll need an interface for <div> based content too. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

LOL, Maurice. You got the source of a tab content frame, instead of the source that contains the tabs. You need to view the right <iframe>. Ok, so there happen to be 25-30 <iframe>'s, one for each tab, plus some ... ;-)
