Jquery tabbed panel header adjustment

Report · Feb 06, 2020

When I insert a Jquery tabbed panel the header where the tabs reside is way to large in the "y" direction. I have tried to use the CSS Designer panel to adjust the header to no avail. I just can't seem to find the adjustment anywhere. A picture of my issue is below. With Spry there was a tutorial on these adjustments.

Thanks,

This is my Jquery panel

Wrap your Tabbed panels in a parent container styled to whatever width is required. For expediency, this example contains inline CSS. In production, you would put CSS in your stylesheet. Adjust values to suit.

<div class="parent" style="width:50%; margin:0 auto">

</div>

Nancy,

That doesn't work for me. I still have that huge blue header. When I use your code, it just reduces the width by 50%. Thanks.

It's pretty much impossible to say exactly what's going on with your page, without seeing the code.

Could you copy and paste the entire code of your page, and any css attached, into a forum reply so we can take a look at what's causing your issue?

...or better yet, post a link to a test page on a website you control so we can see with our browsers what's going on?

Not too sure what you mean by blue header. Below is an example of jQuery UI Tabs with the Pepper Grinder theme. By default the panels are only as big as content requires.
