HTML & CSS

Tue Apr 8 08:29:26 EDT 2014

Hi,

I'm not sure what you're goal is, so I'll provide 2 options for inspiration.
I didn't use the method you tried, moved the bg-color to the listitem and used a first-child/last-child for the corners.

The first one, shows or hides a <div> on the same page depending on the currentTab
The second one leaves out any javascript. If you've got just 3 pages, you can hard-code the currentTab.
Not really tested or elelegant.

regards, Chris

-----
-- show the the corresponding div of the selected tab

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function showHide(shID) {
  if (document.getElementById(shID)) {
   document.getElementById('tab1-content').style.display = 'none';
   document.getElementById('tab2-content').style.display = 'none';
   document.getElementById('tab3-content').style.display = 'none';
   document.getElementById(shID + '-content').style.display = 'block';
   document.getElementById('tab1').className = '';
   document.getElementById('tab2').className = '';
   document.getElementById('tab3').className = '';
   document.getElementById(shID).className = 'currentTab'
  }
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
