Hello all,
Where would be a good place to see how to create a tabbed interface on a
web page? I have looked thru doing a search with Google but there seems
to be several different ways of doing this. Also, what are everyone's
thoughts on this? I was listening to the latest episode of the Eyes On
Success podcast and it was mentioned in the podcast. It is something
that has intrigued me for some reason.

Thank you,
Greg Wocher

The ARIA enhanced jQueryUI tabbed widget demonstrated here is a good
example:

Jason Kiss's examples here are a good start (if the whatsock framework is
more than you were looking for):

Worth reading this previous thread though, there are some usability
implications until people get used to the different interaction approach:

Marco Zehe also has a nice, brief, and more recent account of ARIA tabs at http://www.marcozehe.de/2013/02/02/advanced-aria-tip-1-tabs-in-web-apps/. Also suggest reading through the comments.

That is a good article.

You can also use aria-expanded on an element with role=tab to indicate the
expanded state, which I've found to be more informative because it announces
"open" or "closed" for screen reader users.

There are also some important differences between accordions and tabs that
people need to be aware of, the lines of which seem to be blurred in the
comments. An ARIA tablist with role=tab should not be used on accordions.
