This is some code that I wrote to create dynamic tabs. I use it for forms where I have a lot of fields and a good percentage are "advanced" or otherwise not important enough to have visible immediately. The CSS is based on ideas from Silverorange Labs and the JS code is mine. The code is released under the MIT license which basically means you can do what you like with it as long as you don't blame me!
Basic tutorial
It's not hard to use and I've included a sample html file in the zip archive. The basics are:
<div id="tab-container">
<div class="tab-content">
<h1 class="tab" title="title for page 1">Page 1</h1>
<p>This is the content of tab 1</p>
</div>
<div class="tab-content">
<h1 class="tab" title="title for page 2">Page 2</h1>
<p>This is the content of tab 2</p>
</div>
<div class="tab-content">
<h1 class="tab" title="title for page 3">Page 3</h1>
<p>This is the content of tab 3</p>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="abs.js"></script>
i.e. you need a "tab-container" and then each tab is contained in a "tab-content" and we use a "tab" to sort out the title. The nice thing is that it degrades really nicely!
Update: I've created a separate page to hold the download link
