Question

Which is the best unobtrusive and lightweight jquery solution to make tab? Although Jquery similar to jquery ui. jquery ui tab is good but it’s overkill fro for just tab. we will have to add jquery ui core.js, jquery ui tab.js then a little code snippet.

I need lightweight solution. using this type HTML. and jquery code should be in no.conflict mode.

<ul>
        <li><a href="#example-1">example 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#example-2">example 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#example-3">example 3</a></li>
</ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
        <p>
            tab 1 content</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
        <p>
            tab 2 content</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-3">
        <p>
            tab 3 content</p>
    </div>

tabs content should be accessible if js is disabled.

If changing your HTML is an option you’d be better off with going something a bit more semantic. Having semantic markup for your tabs will result in better search engine optimization and make your site more accessible to a wider range of users. That said a Semantic Tabs with jQuery is a great plugin that will work with the below markup.

<div id="mytabset">
  <div class="panel">
    <h3>Tab1</h3>
     Panel stuff 1
  </div>
  <div class="panel">
    <h3>Tab2</h3>
     Panel stuff 2
  </div>
  <div class="panel">
    <h3>Tab3</h3>
     Panel stuff 3
  </div>
</div>
