<p>Creating tabs is a fairly trivial and common practice in web design, but many times it requires JavaScript to properly implement. Fortunately it <em>is</em> possible to create tabbed content with only using CSS.</p>

<p>The skeleton for this component is fairly basic - we just need the following structure:</p>

<h2 id="one-minor-caveat">One minor caveat</h2>
-
<p>Even though I&#8217;m a pretty big fan of implementing tabs this way, there is a small drawback:</p>
-
<p>The <code>height</code> of the inner content doesn&#8217;t grow dynamically since it defaults as <code>absolute</code>, so a <code>min-height</code> or <code>height</code> value is required on the parent element. This could become a problem in certain situations where you don&#8217;t have the luxury of setting a static height.</p>

<p>Other than that, enjoy building some JavaScript-free tabs!</p>
