03 / Website use cases

Where to use bookmarkable section tabs

Tabs hide content behind clicks, and most tab widgets give each tab no address of its own, so nobody can link to the delivery tab or bookmark the questions. Bookmarkable section tabs turns sections you have already built into tabs that follow the WAI-ARIA pattern, keep the open tab in the address, and fall back to plain links without JavaScript.
