Skin overview

I don't have an operating wiki that is using this skin yet; but I basically ripped the styles from the Wikipedia out and placed them into a PmWiki template. Just look at the tabbing interface and the box the tabs are attached to on http://www.wikipedia.com and you will see what this skin looks like.

If anyone can give me a hand getting this skin to appear on this page, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

For now, here is the tmpl code. I will try to get something up that uses this in the near future.

Looks good - except the sidebar gets hidden :/

This is exactly the same text as above, already in a tmpl. Attach:wikipediatabs.tmpl

Notes

The key to making the current active tab have the proper colored border and the proper line attributes is to give both the <li> and the <a> the same class. This class style is defined each time the page is loaded, and it is dependent on the way the $action variable is set at any given time.

All the CSS is to make the tabs and body look like the Wikipedia, but take a look specifically at the #tabbar a.$action and #tabbar li.$action styles to see how this works.
