Alright, this has probably been asked before, but i'm trying to make some content tabs for vB4. I'm using a free-source code. (All credit for the code belongs to menucool.com)

This is what I have so far.

<style type="text/css">

ul.tabs
{
    padding: 14px 0 8px;
    margin:0;
    font-size: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    text-align: center; /*set to left, center, or right to align the tabs as desired*/
    background: #DDDDE3;
    border:1px solid #CCC;
    border-bottom:none;
    border-radius: 2px 2px 0 0;
}
        
ul.tabs li
{
    display: inline;
    margin: 0;
    margin-right: 2px;/*distance between tabs*/
    font: normal 12px Verdana;
}
        
ul.tabs li a
{
    text-decoration: none;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
    padding: 8px 22px;
    /*border: 1px solid #16BCA3;*/
    color: #000;
    border-radius: 3px 3px 0 0;
    outline:none;
}
  
        
ul.tabs li a:hover
{
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: #000;
}
        
ul.tabs li.selected a
{
    /*selected tab style */
    position: relative;
    top: 0px;
    font-weight:bold;
    background: #FFF;
    border: 1px solid #AAA;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF;
    color: #000;
}
        
        
ul.tabs li.selected a:hover
{
    /*selected tab style */
    text-decoration: none;
}
        
div.tabcontent
{
    display: block;
}

div.tabcontents
{
    border: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 30px;
    border-top-color:#AAA;
    background-color:#FFF;
    border-radius: 0 0 2px 2px;

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

<ul class="tabs">
    <li><a href="#" rel="view1">{option}</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tabcontents">
    <div id="view1" class="tabcontent">
        {param}
    </div>
</div>

The way I see it I need two different bbcodes to bring this together. I've gotten one. The usage would be [tab=Tab Title]Tab content.[/tab] When I try to create multiple tabs they won't stay together. It creates the tab title (highlightable/hoverable) and the content like it should, but separates the instances of the bbcode. I've tried to figure out a way to make multiple instances of the "tab" bbcode stay together by using another bbcode, but failed. If anyone can come in and make sense of anything I have so far, then finish this code, i'd be really grateful.
