HTML Dog CSS Tab
A popular form of navigation is tabbed navigation-a group of links that give the impression of being protrusions attached to different areas of unseen content. With CSS you don’t need to be restricted to rigid images for every tab-you can maintain complete control over appearance and text at a fraction of the file size of image-only alternatives.

Animated horizontal tabs
These sliding doors based blue tinted tabs “jump up” when selected, such as when the mouse rolls over each one. This is accomplished using a combination of relative positioning and padding on each tab. The selected tab is first stretched vertically by giving it a thick bottom padding, then plucked out thanks to the CSS “top” property value that’s smaller than the normal tabs’. The result are tabs that animate without any scripting.

Inverted Shift Down Menu

Vista Aero Buttons Menu
This menu consists of a row of independent, Vista aero looking CSS buttons, and departs from the typical list based menu structure. Each button appears initially faded out slightly via CSS opacity, then brought back to full opacity during the “hover” state. The caveat for this menu is the fixed height of each button based on the graphic interface, hence isn’t ideal if the buttons’ font size is changed from the default.

DD Tab Menus
