This decision was made as part of our creation and adoption of the jQuery UI CSS Framework. This offers a set of generic widget classes that we use across all jQuery UI widgets, and we encourage others to make use of the same. Then all widgets can be themed with simplicity, using a pre-built theme, or rolling their own theme with themeroller.com.
http://jqueryui.com/docs/Theming http://jqueryui.com/docs/Theming/ThemeRollerReady http://themeroller.com/ jQuery UI Tabs, like other jQuery UI widgets, continues to have widget-specific classes, as well as more generic css framework classes. They are summarized here: http://jqueryui.com/docs/tabs/#theming Notice for example that the selected tab gets both the ui-tabs-selected class (tabs specific) and the ui-state-active class (css framework). Both have the ui- prefix, meaning they're in the jQuery UI css class namespace. And they're managed by the plugin. For consistency and simplicity, we've made neither configurable. This is our standard way of communicating on the identity and state of the selected tab. It's up to the user to either write a css rule that contains one of these two classes, or manually add some other class at an appropriate time. - Richard On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 1:26 AM, Donny Kurnia <donnykur...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's have been a long time since I use jQuery UI tabs in my project.
