FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create both horizontal and vertical tab layouts?

Yes, the generator supports both horizontal tabs (standard) and vertical tabs for different layout needs. Vertical tabs work well for sidebar navigation or when you have many tab options.

What happens to tab content when switching between tabs?

Bootstrap tabs hide and show content panels using CSS and JavaScript. Only the active tab's content is visible, while others remain in the DOM but hidden. This preserves form data and component states.

Can I add icons to tab headers?

Yes, the tool supports adding icons from popular icon libraries to tab headers. Icons help users quickly identify different sections and improve the visual hierarchy of your tabbed interface.

Are tabs suitable for mobile devices?

Tabs work on mobile but consider the number of tabs and screen space. For many tabs, consider using accordions or other mobile-friendly navigation patterns that don't require horizontal scrolling.

Can I control which tab is active by default?

Yes, you can specify which tab should be active when the page loads. This helps guide users to the most important content or the logical starting point for your tabbed interface.
