Can anyone point me to a customizable ASP.Net tab control? I'm not looking
for suites of controls, just this one. Thanks! Try the following from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit:

control. I just discovered it myself and trying it out, but one apparent shortcoming is the lack of a visual UI for development. Unless I'm missing something (wouldn't be the first time), this makes it pretty awkward to build complex tab panels.

with any other tab controls you find online. If having a visual UI for development is an absolute necessity for you, I would suggest one of the following two alternatives: 1. Design the tab content outside of the actual control so that you can use the visual UI just like you would if you weren't even making a tab, and then once you're done designing the tab content, cut and paste the content into the the tab. 2. Create a UserControl for each tab, and then all you need to put in the tab is a single control. Because the content and designing is being done outside of the tab control, you will be able to use the visual UI just like you normally would. I don't think this will be as much of a problem for you as you think, since once the content for a tab is in it and any css and design properties are set, most of your work will be done in Source View anyway. Also (and other developers may have a different opinion on this), when it comes to design and css, I usually recommend viewing it in a browser (since that way you know you are seeing what the user will see) and, if one is available (and I know there is for IE and Firefox), trying any different css using a utility that allows you to preview different styles directly in the browser. Anyway, hopefully this helps, good luck!

The graphics I'm using show the tabs overlapping, which means each tab is spread across multiple options. The space between the options ruins that effect. How can I get rid of those spaces?

TabContainer (listed as Tabs) control from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit (http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/Tabs/Tabs.aspx)? But anyway, I enjoy writing code too, so I guess it can be tempting to write your own, so here are some possible guesses as to the reason for your space between the menu options (I haven't seen the code, so I can only guess): 1. Check the css, specifically the margin, padding, and border-width properties. 2. Some browsers are more sensitive to spaces between tags than they should be (even though html shouldn't be affected by whether or not there is any space between tags, sometimes it has an effect in some browsers that is hard to notice, but sometimes makes a difference for precision placement). See if removing any extra whitespace in your aspx source code makes any difference. When you say "using a menu", do you mean using the ASP.NET Menu Control, or do you just mean you created a menu? If you mean the Menu Control, I would suggest looking at the generated html to see exactly what html you are playing with. Sometimes during design I find it useful to use a tool that lets you view and edit the css directly in the browser. IE has the Internet Explorer Developer Toolkit available, IE8 has the Developer Tools built in, and I believe Firefox has something called Firebug. I may be able to help you more if I see some of your code, but I would really like to know specifically what you didn't like about the one from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit (sometimes there is an easy way to get what you want that you just haven't discovered yet). Good Luck!

I will try them out. I am using the ASP.Net menu control. My objection to the AJAX controls is, as I mentioned in my earlier message, it does not include a UI for development. I will want to put lots of stuff in each page of the tab control, and will want to arrange them carefully. If you know of a way to do this please let me know, since this is my first attempt at using AJAX. So far I am probably one of the 2 or 3 people on the planet who is not impressed, since everyone else seems to love it.

cheap workaround, but try something like this: <asp:MenuItem ImageUrl="~/images/frog.gif" Value="45" Text=""/> Take note that the Text property is set to "". This must be set, if you do not set the Text property the Value property will be used. Good Luck!
