Vertical tabs

I posted on in the toolkit forum but thought I would widen the audience a bit.

What's the best method these days for creating vertical tabs? I currently use the toolkit's tab control for my horizontal tabs but I want to put it in another tabcontainer that has vertical tabs (kinda like an old style TV set with channels as buttons). How are people doing this these days? Doesn't look like the AJAX tab control can be made into vertical tabs and after googling around I didn't see anything that jumped out at me.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello craigcl,

I didn't see the implementation of this, but consider reading this article
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/WebTabControl.asp?df=100&forumid=304531&exp=0&select=1758008
and downloading the AJAX Toolkit sources helps your to create your own vertical
tabs

It doesn't do this out of the box, but you can customize the AJAX Control Toolkit's tab control to do this. If you look at the tab's source, you'll see it renders just simple SPANs and DIVs. You can get a bit more insight on what is happening if you look atmy blog post on styling the tabs.

Hope this helps.
