jQuery CSS3 Sliding Tabs

A jQuery plugin which uses CSS3 2D transforms to slide tabbed panels horizontally. If CSS3 transforms aren't available jQuery DOM animation is used as a fallback. Modified to support specifying current tab, and named anchors (#hashmarks) lets you share URL directly to a #tab (avoid using existing html id as hash, currently cripples layout).

Basic markup

<div id="panel_view">
  <div id="panel_container">
    <div class="panel">
      <!--panel content -->
    </div>
    <div class="panel">
      <!--panel content -->
    </div>
    <div class="panel">
      <!--panel content -->
    </div>
  </div>
  
  <div id="navigation">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">One</a></li>
      <li><a href="#comments">Two</a></li>
      <li class="current"><a href="#">Three</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

Basic Syntax

$('#panel_view').css3tabslider({options});

Possible options

panel_width: the width of each panel in pixels

speed: the time taken to complete the movement of each panel in seconds

easing: possible options are ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out

For example to create a sliding tabbed panel where each panel has a width of 500 pixels, the transition takes half a second to complete and the movement is eased using 'ease-in-out':

$('#outermost_id').css3tabslider({
  panel_width: 500,
  speed: 0.5,
  easing: 'ease-in-out'
 });
