Creating a tabbed panel

Rails
1

How do I create tabbed panel in RubyOnRails? Like the way it is
created in Java, I found nothing here. Is this facility provided?
I want to create two tabs and on clicking on first, data related to
first should appear and onclicking second first data should get hidden
and second data should be shown.

Please help me asap.

Thanks

i don’t know, how this is done in Java, but since thos tabs are only
links, there are a view simple ways we do this:

for the tab bar itself create a template that can be included in your
layout
the tabs are link_to either to a normal action or link_to_remote Ajax
action
depending on the tab that was clicked (of course you could use images
for those links)
it’ll call the right action and render the new view or for Ajax update
the content area and the tab bar

From the top: RoR is a platform, and Java is a language.

A tab control, like any other advanced but complex thing, should be
pluggable,
because nobody should declare a One True Tab System for Rails.
(Declaring the
One True Object Relational Model, ActiveRecord - we will let that one
slide!)
Different sites need different features in their tabbage.

Finally, always prep a question with Google before asking it here.
Anyone who
advances Rails knows to put their research someplace where Google can
find it.
The search [rails tab] returns ~0.5 million hits.

There was a fairly nifty looking tab thingy that I saw at railsconf
europe last year: http://www.seesaw.it/en/toolbox/widgets/

Fine
But basic layout should be provided.

I used this one JavaScript Tabifier automatically create an html css tabs interface for
diffuse.it. It degrades nicely if javascript is disabled.

There was a nice discussion of Tabs on TheRailsWay a year or so ago:

The comments on the second link shows a lot of suggestions that
different people had.
