Using tabs with normal links
Hi,
Recently I've started to re-build my website and after some time trying to design the layout I gave up. I'm a programmer and as mostly of us I'm terrible designing interfaces. :)
So, as I'm a heavy user of jquery I decided to use jquery-ui with the defaults styles which I can just customize later on.
My problem is that I want to create my tabs in a easy way (only calling the $('.selector').tabs() for example) but I don't want mostly of the default behaviors.
Why?
1-) Adding divs with not related information between them it's not semantically correct in the HTML point of view. It seems to don't be important but it make the page lost points in page ranking.
2-) I want to change my page's header content (title, keywords) without depend on JS.
In other words, I would like to be able to use the JS and to change the appearance of my page without change the content that it's being displayed at all.
I solved the problem adding a boolean argument to the tabs, the argument appearanceOnly. If it's true it don't create any divs and the links has a normal behavior (do a request and reload the page).
Is there an easier way to do it?
