I think tab containers are great. And I think dojo’s tab container implementation is better than great. Its so easy with simple markup to make tabs and really create elegant user interfaces. Further, you lazy load the content of the tabs to make for a really good user experience, all without much effort at all. But I frequently use tabs as a tool to filter data views. For example, if I have a table, and want a few standard “views” of that table, I’ll put each view in a tab. Well this leads to a lot of repetitive code. What I really want is to tell the tab container what tabs I want to build, and then create a few small bits of data that can be plugged into each view to “customize” it.
