Tabs

Tabs help shorten pages on your website. They make it easy for your website’s visitors to compare information, such as requirements for different programs.

Add Tabs

To add a tab set to a page:

1. Click on the Tab icon in the editing panel.
   
2. A window will pop up with several fields to fill in:
   

    

   • Tab Set Title: Enter a basic title for your tab set. This won’t display on your website, but Drupal needs content to have a unique ID.
   • Number of Tabs: Select the number of tabs you need the tab set to contain (between 2 and 9).
   • TabLink1, TabLink2, etc.: These are the public-facing titles for each tab within the set, meaning these labels will be visible to your website’s visitors.
   • Content1, Content2, etc.: Each box represents a tab within the set. Content1 is the first tab (and so on). Enter dummy text into each of the boxes. You’ll be able to add your real content, including formatting (headings, links, images, etc.), after you complete step three below.
3. Press OK (the green button at the bottom of the pop-up window).
4. To add content, click in the relevant tab, and start typing or pasting content, adding headings, hyperlinks, etc.
