<h1>TabView Control</h1>

<div class="exampleIntro">
  <p>
  This example demonstrates how to use the Browser History Manager
  to remember which tabs have been visited with the TabView widget
  and dynamically update it when the user presses the browser's
  back/forward buttons.
</p>
      
</div>

<!--BEGIN SOURCE CODE FOR EXAMPLE  -->

<style>

#yui-history-iframe {
  position:absolute;
  top:0; left:0;
  width:1px; height:1px; /* avoid scrollbars */
  visibility:hidden;
}

#demo { margin-bottom:1em; }

</style>

<!-- Static markup required by the browser history utility. Note that the
     iframe is only used on Internet Explorer. If this page is server
     generated (by a PHP script for example), it is a good idea to create
     the IFrame ONLY for Internet Explorer (use server side user agent sniffing) -->

        // selected before leaving the page, and not the initially selected tab.
        // This can be retrieved using getCurrentState:
