Tabs

Tabs are an easy way to allow users to move between pages and even applications.  Tabs are displayed on the page in the location defined by the page template.  A good example of tabs is shown right in HTML DB, Figure 11.27.  They have created three tabs which are displayed on every screen except for the login page.  These are the Application Builder, SQL Workshop, and Administration tabs at the top right of each screen by putting them on Page of each application.  These tabs actually tab between applications in HTML DB.

There are two types of tabs that can be defined in HTML DB.  The first is the standard tab which is a typical setup of tabs such as that shown in Figure 11.27.  The second type is the parent tab.  A parent tab is used as a container for a number of standard tabs.  The parent tab configuration can give the user a sense of where they are in the navigation.
