I saw that....
I'm going to pretend the childlike joy and wonder I then had didn't occur.

Wormo already knows but just posting here so others see--

the inception tabs are working perfectly, no glitches found whatsoever thus far, and they are absolutely wicked cool and useful. Already compacted my biggest, ugliest threads into the most gorgeous organization I ever did see. ;D

Is there a way to change the tab colors including when it's selected or when you are hovering over it when you are posting so it doesn't affect every post but rather just that one post? Or can you only do that through changing the default colors in the footer and therefore changing every table on the website. I tried changing the color by doing [/PTab={background-color:#000000;] and while it does change the background color, it then takes away the hover effect so no one would know to click the tabs.

putting styles in the end PTab will affect the div section it opens, unless you have "apply to tabs" checked as well. because it makes it an inline style, it overides the hover and selected classes that get applied to it.

I would need to write in something that let you override the hover and selected colors for the tab. I will likely use

tab-background-color
tab-selected-background-color
tab-hover-background-color

and to make it easier, I will make it where ANY style with tab- in front of it only gets applied to the tab, along with the three

v1.3.5 submitted

added ability to apply tab specific styles using tab- modifier in closing tag
fixed openFirstTabByDefault function
changed it to look for divs by ID so it wouldnt open divs with same tab name in nested tables

Ooh thank you

hi there! loving the plugin, but i was wondering if there could be an option to have the tabs at the bottom of the divs, not at the top/side?

[Wormopolis]

The issue with that is the content would grow above the tabs and push them down, so they would never be in the same place if the content changed heights. and as you clicked a tab, they would raise up while the current div was leaving and push back down as the new div was arriving. there really wouldnt be an easy way to keep the tabs on the same place on the page while content stretched above them. Thats just how browsers put content on a page.

If you are fine with all that, ok, but its going to be a while before I get to that. its going to take some major editing in order to add in the logic to accomodate that.

[lucymeow]

i'm perfectly fine with all that, yes. i intend for the divs to be the same height anyway, so it's not that much of an inconvenience. take all the time you need -- thank you for considering this!

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but what about having an images as the tabs vs the name?

if you put in BBC code for an image at the tab title, it will turn it into an image

[SailorEffinMoon]

WOAH, that is awesome!! Thanks so much

[SailorEffinMoon]

Wormopolis Hmm maybe you can advise me on this cuz I'm no expert. I was wondering if you knew an easier way for me to get THIS working. It works, I just feel like maybe I'm doing it the hard way.

I see images for the tabs? what isnt working for you?
