jQuery Plugin For Chrome-Like Draggable Tabbed Content - Chrome Tabs

A lightweight jQuery plugin for creating a Google Chrome-like tabs interface which allows you to rearrange tabs by clicking and dragging.

How to use it:

1. Create tabs using Html unordered list and use data-target attribute to point to target content.

<ul class="tabs">

  <li class="tab" data-target="#page1"> <span>Tab 1</span>
    <button type="button" class="close">×</button>
  </li>

  <li class="tab active" data-target="#page2"> <span>Tab 2</span>
    <button type="button" class="close">×</button>
  </li>

  <li class="tab" data-target="#page3"> <span>Tab 3</span>
    <button type="button" class="close">×</button>
  </li>

</ul>

2. Create tabbed content following the Html structure like this.

<div class="tab-content">
  <div class="tab-pane" id="page1">Section 1</div>
  <div class="tab-pane active" id="page2">Section 2</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="page3">Section 3</div>
</div>

3. Load the jQuery Chrome Tabs plugin after jQuery library at the bottom of the web page.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script src="chrometab.js"></script> 

4. Style the tabs, close buttons and tabbed content in the CSS.
