CGI::Widget::Tabs is a Perl module to create tab widgets in HTML.SYNOPSIS use CGI::Widget::Tabs; my $tab = CGI::Widget::Tabs->new; use CGI; my $cgi = CGI->new; # interface to the query params $tab->headings(@titles); # e.g. qw/Drivers Cars Courses/ $tab->default("Courses"); # the default active tab $tab->force_active("Courses"); # forceably make this the active tab $tab->active; # the currently active tab $tab->class("my_tab"); # the CSS class to use for markup $tab->cgi_object($cgi); # the object holding the query params $tab->cgi_param("t"); # the CGI query parameter to use $tab->drop_params("ays"); # do NOT pass on "Are You Sure?" answers $tab->wrap(4); # wrap after 4 headings... $tab->indent(1); # ...and add indentation $tab->render; # the resulting HTML code $tab->display; # same as `print $tab->render' $h = $tab->heading; # new OO heading for this tab $h->text("TV Listings"); # heading text $h->key("tv"); # key identifying this heading $h->raw(1); # switch off HTML encoding $h->url("whatsontonight.com"); # redirect URL for this heading $h->class("red"); # this heading has it's own class # See the EXAMPLE section for a complete exampleIntroductionCGI::Widget::Tabs lets you simulate tab widgets in HTML. You could benefit from a tab widget if you want to serve only one page. Depending on the tab selected you fetch and display the underlying data. There are three main reasons for taking this approach:1. For the end user not to be directed to YAL or YAP (yet another link / yet another page), but keep it all together: The single point of entry paradigm.2. As a consequence the end user deals with a more consistent and integrated GUI. This will give a better "situational awareness" within the application.3. For the Perl hacker to handle multiple related data sources within the same script environment.As an example the following tabs could be used on a web page for someone's spotting hobby: __________ __________ __________ / Planes / Trains / Classics ------------------------------------------------------ _________ / Bikes ------------------------As you can see, the headings wrap at three and a small indentation is added to the start of the next row. The nice thing about CGI::Widget::Tabs is that the tabs know their internal state. So you can ask a tab for instance which heading has been clicked by the user. This way you get instant feedback."Hey Gorgeous!"Of course tabs are useless if you can't "see" them. Without proper make up they print as ordinary text. So you really need to fancy them up with some eye candy. The designed way is that you provide a CSS style sheet and have CGI::Widget::Tabs use that. See the class() method for how to do this.
