Tabs

Tabs are used to group related content. Tabs are usually placed directly on top of a group box, grid or input module. Read more about tabs in the UX Guidelines. Make sure to also check out the guidelines for tab order.

Use when

To present related information in separate views
To structure, split up and display information in a limited area

For this component you need JavaScript! We recommend to create your own scripts following the structure from the examples below.
You can also use the scripts we use for our examples. For this case - tabs - you need to use tabdrop.js and dropdowns.js.

Default styling

We provide 2 types of tabs, this is the default version (the primary version you can find it below). Below you can also see how different states should look like for tabs and also you have the option to add icons inside them (with icons helper classes), check the examples and the code snippets from below.
