Today I made the tabs control 25 lines as opposed to 95 lines using DIVs/CSS instead of tables. (CSS is only 3 lines)

Here's the code:

<%@ Control Inherits="DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Tabs.Tabs" language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" CodeFile="Tabs.ascx.vb" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="HelpButton" Src="~/controls/HelpButtonControl.ascx" %>
<asp:panel id="pnlTabs" runat="server" cssclass="WorkPanel" visible="True">
    <div id="pages-left">
    <label style="DISPLAY:none" for="<%=lstTabs.ClientID%>">First Tabs</label>
    <asp:listbox id="lstTabs" runat="server" rows="22" datatextfield="TabName" datavaluefield="TabId" cssclass="NormalTextBox" width="400px"></asp:listbox>
    </div>
    <div id="pages-right">
        <asp:label id="lblMovePage" runat="server" resourcekey="MovePage">Move Page</asp:label>
        <hr noshade size="1" />
        <ul>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdUp" resourcekey="cmdUp.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Move Tab Up In Current Level" commandname="up" imageurl="~/images/up.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:HelpButton id="hbtnUpHelp" resourcekey="cmdUp" runat="server" /></li>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdDown" resourcekey="cmdDown.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Move Tab Down In Current Level" commandname="down" imageurl="~/images/dn.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnDownHelp" resourcekey="cmdDown" runat="server" /></li>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdLeft" resourcekey="cmdLeft.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Move Tab Up One Hierarchical Level" commandname="left" imageurl="~/images/lt.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnLeftHelp" resourcekey="cmdLeft" runat="server" /></li>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdRight" resourcekey="cmdRight.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Move Tab Down One Hierarchical Level" commandname="right" imageurl="~/images/rt.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnRightHelp" resourcekey="cmdRight" runat="server" /></li>
        </ul>
        <asp:label id="lblActions" runat="server" resourcekey="Actions">Actions</asp:label>
        <hr noshade size="1" />
        <ul>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdEdit" resourcekey="cmdEdit.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Edit Tab" imageurl="~/images/edit.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnEditHelp" resourcekey="cmdEdit" runat="server" /></li>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdView" resourcekey="cmdView.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="View Tab" imageurl="~/images/view.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnViewHelp" resourcekey="cmdView" runat="server" /></li>
            <li><asp:imagebutton id="cmdDelete" resourcekey="cmdDelete.Help" runat="server" alternatetext="Delete Tab" imageurl="~/images/delete.gif"></asp:imagebutton><dnn:helpbutton id="hbtnDeleteHelp" resourcekey="cmdDelete" runat="server" /></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</asp:panel>

CSS:

#pages-left{ width:410px; float:left; }
#pages-right{ width:100px; float:left; }
#pages-right ul, #pages-right li{ list-style-type:none;}

Thanks for reading!

Oh, my bad, I thought this was a discussion forum....?? Thought people might like to see this and talk about it.

What's even better than discussing it?  Actually including it in a future DNN update so everyone gets to benefit from your excellent changes!  That's all Sebastian was suggesting :)
