    <div class="tab-head"><a href="javascript:;" rel="tab_2a"><span>tab_2</span></a></div>

  </div>
  <div class="tabs--content">

      <h2>tab_1</h2>
      <p>Tab 1 content</p>
    </div>
    <div class="tab-content" id="tab_2a">

      <p>Tab 2 content</p>
    </div>

.tabs--header {
  font-size: 0;
  box-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #999 inset;
  white-space: nowrap
}

.tab-head {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
  font-size: 1rem
}

.tab-head:last-child { border-right: 1px solid #999 }

.tab-head a {
  display: block;
  height: 50px;
  line-height: 50px;
  padding: 0 20px;
  text-decoration: none;
  border-left: 1px solid #999;
