Yetii – the extremely lightweight alternative to jQuery Tabs

Posted in Freebies by Claudiu Murariu | Tags: JavaScript, jQuery, lightweight tabs, MooTools

Yetii stands for Yet (E)Another JavaScript Tab Interface Implementation. It is only 3.9 kb in compressed mode and the beauty of it is that it renders great even on browsers without JavaScript support. It’s fully customizable and framework independent. I mostly use it for widget development because keeping widgets as light as possible but giving advanced interactions is the trick to go for.

Here are some of my favorite features:

you can have many independend tab interfaces on a single page
you can specify initial tab
you can add next/previous navigation
you can nest one tab interface inside another
you can manually invoke tab showing method
you can define custom function to run after certain tab is clicked
you can define custom function to run when user leaves certain tab
you can link to certain tab on page A from page B via URL parameter
you can turn on tab persistence feature, so the most recently clicked tab is stored inside a cookie and remembered between page

You can see a working demo and download the script here: http://www.kminek.pl/lab/yetii/

What are your favourite tab scripts?
