raymondselda.com showed us a wonderful way to Create A Tabbed Content Rotator Using everyone’s favorite Javascript framework, jQuery and an interface library called jQuery UI. This effect can be used effectively on your homepage to present customers with your products and services.

We have our usual wrapper that wraps the rotator div which contains the tabs structured as a list and the content fragments that we’re going to rotate. We also reference jQuery and jQuery UI in the head section. The key point here are the class names ui-tabs-selected and ui-tabs-hide for the list and content fragments. Those class names are part responsible for rotating our content.

Content rotators are one of the neat ways you can showcase your products and services without taking up too much screen real estate. After you’re finished, you can experiment and try placing the tabs above or lining them up vertically. Try looking up some websites that use this kind of interface for inspiration. Simple variations to the interface can be a great way to learn more about CSS.
