Tab name as hyperlink ?

  • Not sure if this plugin is supported any more – maybe someone will pop along ?

    I have a set of tabs, but the last tab title I would like to be a hyperlink to another page on my site – anyone know if this is possible ? I’ve tried the ‘obvious’ way of adding a link to the text (like you would any link) but his breaks the GT Tabs code.

    Thanks ??

  • Sadly, the plugin author appears to be MIA.

    Glancing over the plugin code, it’s not possible to use titles as links to other pages because the tab titles are already links. Beyond this, it sounds a bit off from a design perspective, since clicking on a tab is supposed to open that tab, not a new page. A hyperlink title is counter to user expectations, breaking the Principle of Least Astonishment. Perhaps you could place the link in its own fixed box in a viewport corner? This would also serve to highlight the link, setting it apart from the tabs and drawing attention to it (assuming that’s desirable).

    That’s all I’ve got for you.

    Hi outis

    That’s great – thanks for taking the time to reply, and teaching me something new in the process ??

    I know what you mean about the design – I’d customised the tab CSS in such a way as to resemble buttons, so hopefully it wouldn’t come as too much of a shock ! This way, new text is revealed without page load, and the last tab as a link would direct the visitor deeper into the site.
