DHTML Tabbed Interface by Linda Rathgeber Real world metaphors are an excellent means of conducting viewers through your web site. A study done by Microsoft showed that tabbed interfaces are one of the best real world metaphors. Literally every testee recognized what the tabs were and how to use them. Other advantages to tabbed interfaces are that they allow you to present a lot of information without requiring the viewer to scroll, they allow the viewer to keep track of the information they have already accessed, and they are visually pleasing. So why aren't they used on more Web sites? One reason may be that the tabs commonly used on Web sites do not behave the way the viewer expects them to. They are static. Nothing happens to the tabs when the viewer clicks on them. |
