Hi Zak and Anne,

I noticed in chapter 14 you explain how to use CSS transitions to create an accordion which is quite interesting and useful. Then you show another way to create them in the jQuery UI chapter, so you can compare the two approaches. As I was looking at that, it occurred to me that it should be possible to create tabs using only CSS by employing similar techniques. I'm surprised you didn't include an example of that in chapter 14. I see that you already cover the tabs widget in the jQuery UI chapter.

That's great feedback Bruce. Writing a book this size takes a significant amount of effort and planning. Believe me when I tell you that there are dozens of features that we would have liked to have included but just didn't have the time or space for them. a pure CSS tabs application would have been a really cool example and I'll make note of that request for a possible 4th edition addition!
