Problem in my Javascript code for Tab Panel- Help Please!
Hi Y'all...
I am hoping that someone can help me fix some pretty simple code.
I am building a web page that has tab panels that hide and show information depending on which one is selected. I am trying to make the tabs at the top of the page and go horizontal.
I have had some success, however I am having two problems. The first problem is that one of the tabs doesn't work. (specifically tab 4 "videos").
The other is that when you first start up the page, there are three tabs highlighted (1, 4 and 5), however there should only be 1 tab highlighted (tab1).
I have included my code below. can anyone tell me where my mistakes are?
Thank you!!!

}
}
if(block) { document.getElementById(idlist[i]).style.display = "block"; }
else { document.getElementById(idlist[i]).style.display = "none"; }
}
}

Secondly, you are under the impression that browsers parse html sequentially. There are couple things I could think of that you could try.
1. Write a javscript function to initialize your tabs (probably the simplest).
2. Rather than have two <div tags for every item, just have one and switch the class name.
