This may be a subjective question, I am new here so keep that in mind…

I have searched and searched and been unable to determine what the best way is the do a tabbed menu for a webpage. The webserver is Unix based, so anything .NET is out of the question. It seems that AJAX/javascript is the ‘nicest’ way to go, but I’ve heard there are issues with certain browsers (especially IE). Is this true?

I’d rather have the flexibility offered by javascript than going for purely CSS based tabs, and have the menu tabs function correctly in all/the_most browsers.

Thanks in advance for helping!

    Welcome to SO. To answer your question, I would recommend you take a look at jQuery’s tab control API:

    The advantage of doing this on the client side is that you won’t have to worry about what the backend platform supports, only browser compatibility.
