How to use multi tabbed menu in wordpress
Today i implement dynamic tabbed interface for my wordpress blog and after sparing few minutes i also fix it for some wordpress plugins like similar post and simple twitter and some others.I liked this feature and was thinking of its patch on wordpress.Multi tabbed menu often used in professional blogs and high profile blogs but their isn’t any documentation specially for wordpress.
Help: I get the tabber menu from barelyfitz designs and i implement it as per my requirement and modifications for wordpress.
Ingredients
A javascript for menus named as tabber.js
A CSS patch for the menu to display correctly example.css
- Open the stylesheet of your current theme used in the blog (e.g style.css ) in a notepad, dreamweaver or in any text editor.
- Now copy the example.css into your wordpress theme style sheet.
- Now open your header.php file (header files control all the styling of the wordpress ).
- Upload the javascript file tabber.js any where in your directory (remember the path where you upload the tabber.js )
- Add the following code in your header,php file <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path of tabber.js“></script>
Now you are almost 50% done you just have to know the usage of tabbed menu.
Carefully watch the wp_menu code http://www.honeytechblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wp_menu.txt
Example of the above code will look like this

Great explanation. I got it installed on my localhost, and got the same text you did, but all the text was not in any tabs, like yours. Can you help and advise me as to why we have no tabs?
Thanks

Have you included the javascript in the header?
Have you call the right html tags for the posts?

@irwan
Where actually you stuck?
Few pointer for you:
1. Scattered files indicates the issues in css. Please cross check the url in the header. (hot link the css file if possible)
2. Look of menu are file but jquery switching not working –>issues in js file, so cross check the file in header and try to hotlink in header.
Note: Hotlink or upload the file on the server and call the direct url in header of your theme.
