Glossy Horizontal Menu

Author: Santosh Setty

Yoseph, does your JS allow to hide/show divs to show content for each tab without loading a new page ? Otherwise, does anybody have that type of code, compatible under IE6 and FireFox ?

Thanks

Doesnt work in latest FF. The demo shows wrong output if there are menu items on the left of the active one. All of them are above their desired positions.

Hi Toggy,
Looks good to me on both IE and Firefox - perhaps you need an updated version of IE?
