I have implemented a DNNTabstrip in a module I am using - all is fine on the whole and it performs well but I do have a few head aches with some fundamental requirements I have been trying to add.
The first is the addition of 4 hyperlinks to navigate through the tabs - I have seen John do this in the tab wizard demo (next>> and <<prev buttons) and I have tried various ways of lifting that code to get the same result but seem to get errors all the time - the selectedIndex function seems to be the stumbling block - I have looked through the jscript code but as jscript isnt my prime language - I confess I know very little - It looks like I have to build a javascript object to wrap the ASPX control to achieve what I want - Isnt there an easier way??
Other "improvements" I'd like to see are: more control over the tab size, position and spacing (I havent looked closely at the code yet so I may be wrong) - from what I see the tab appearance can only be controlled by the css and is tied to the tabs using a single image for each state - is it not possible to modify this to allow left ,right and central images making the width of the tabs more flexible - also the facility to specify a margin between the tabs and allow the alignment of the tab row, number of rows and the row order (i.e. filling from left to right or right to left) - then a great control will be an absolutely unbeatable one ;)
Oh and maybe a simple module with panes on each tab would be fun for those of us who don't want to become javascript experts
