I have implemented a DNNTabstrip in a module I am using - all is fine on the whole and it performs well but I do have a few head aches with some fundamental requirements I have been trying to add.

The first is the addition of 4 hyperlinks to navigate through the tabs - I have seen John do this in the tab wizard demo (next>> and <<prev buttons) and I have tried various ways of lifting that code to get the same result but seem to get errors all the time  - the selectedIndex function seems to be the stumbling block - I have looked through the jscript code but as jscript isnt my prime language - I confess I know very little - It looks like I have to build a javascript object to wrap the ASPX control to achieve what I want - Isnt there an easier way??

Other "improvements" I'd like to see are: more control over the tab size, position and spacing (I havent looked closely at the code yet so I may be wrong) - from what I see the tab appearance can only be controlled by the css and is tied to the tabs using a single image for each state - is it not possible to modify this to allow left ,right and central images making the width of the tabs more flexible - also the facility to specify a margin between the tabs and allow the alignment of the tab row, number of rows and the row order (i.e. filling from left to right or right to left) - then a great control will be an absolutely unbeatable one ;)

Oh and maybe a simple module with panes on each tab would be fun for those of us who don't want to become javascript experts

If you remove the initTabStrip line, the control will not work, as the object will not get created.  You will have to figure out what is causing the "weird error" before you continue.
