Another Cool New Multi Tabbed Widget For Blogger

Here's another simple and useful multi-tabbed widget, with Next/Prev page navigation available in every tab.
It is very easy to edit and add this widget to your blog, moreover you can easily control the number and color of tabs and body in the widget.
You can see the live demo in this page: Multi-Tabbed-Widget

To add a similar widget to your blog, you need to follow these instructions:

STEP1:
Download and save these files to your computer.
jquery-1.3.2.min.js
jquery-ui-1.7.custom.min.js
tabs.css [You have to edit this file, if you want to change the default settings like color/dimensions of the widget]

Download Zipped File (TabsNextPrev.zip) from CSS-Tricks.com

STEP2:
Now open an account at MyDataNest.com or Sigmirror.com, and upload those 3 files to any of these two websites, and copy the DIRECT LINKS to these files.

STEP3:
Log in to Blogger, go to Layout -> Edit HTML
and find this code:
</head>

Now immediately ABOVE/BEFORE that code, paste these lines:
<!--JQuery-Prev-Next-Tabber-Starts-http://bloggerstop.net-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://sigmirror.com/........../TEMP_tabs.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection"/>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://sigmirror.com/........../TEMP_jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://sigmirror.com/........../TEMP_jquery-ui-1.7.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

var $tabs = $('#tabs').tabs();

$(".ui-tabs-panel").each(function(i){

var totalSize = $(".ui-tabs-panel").size() - 1;

if (i != totalSize) {
next = i + 2;
$(this).append("<a href='#' class='next-tab mover' rel='" + next + "'>Next Page &#187;</a>");
}

if (i != 0) {
prev = i;
$(this).append("<a href='#' class='prev-tab mover' rel='" + prev + "'>&#171; Prev Page</a>");
}

});

$('.next-tab, .prev-tab').click(function() {
$tabs.tabs('select', $(this).attr("rel"));
return false;
});

});
</script>
<!--JQuery-Prev-Next-Tabber-Stops-http://bloggerstop.net-->
Make sure, you replace the links in RED color above with the DIRECT LINKS of the three files, you got from the previous step.

STEP4:
Save the template, and go to Layout -> Page Elements, and click on "Add a Gadget", select it as "HTML/JavaScript" type.
Now paste this code in to the widget:

<div id="page-wrap">

<div id="tabs">

<ul>
<li><a href="#fragment-1">1</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-2">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-3">3</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-4">4</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-5">5</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-6">6</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-7">7</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-8">8</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-9">9</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-10">10</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-11">11</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-12">12</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-13">13</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-14">14</a></li>
<li><a href="#fragment-15">15</a></li>
</ul>

<div id="fragment-1" class="ui-tabs-panel">
<p>Start</p>
</div>

<div id="fragment-2" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
<p>Content of Tab 2 </p>
</div>

<div id="fragment-3" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
<p>Content of Tab 3 </p>
</div>

<div id="fragment-4" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-5" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-6" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-7" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-8" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-9" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-10" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-11" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-12" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-13" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-14" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
</div>

<div id="fragment-15" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide">
<p>The end.</p>
</div>

</div>
</div>

@ Shilpa Shetty

Most of the widgets and tricks on this blog are based on either HTML/JavaScript/CSS or simply the blog feed, so I think most of these can easily be added to any of the blogs, it doesn't matter whether the platform is Blogger or Wordpress.

Mohd,
It's not just hock, the idiots at itemplatez.com have created too many fake accounts to spam in other blogs, I am really frustrated with them, and if they try to spam just once more in my blog, I'll try my best to hack in to their site x(

Anyways regarding the comments deleting problem, I'll write a short post, as it is will be easier to read from a post...

Hi! I desperately want this to work, but it wont! Every other time I refresh my page it doesn't work. Take a look: http://leeloubtrial.blogspot.com/
If you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong please let me know! I even tried to just use the coding in the HTML/javascript sidebar gadget, that you have above. Even without me customizing it at all, it doesn't work at all. And the box never shows up. Please help!!!

Your coding is all perfect.
The problem is, you uploaded those 3 files to boxstr.com, so instead of boxstr use hotlinkfiles.com (create an account and upload files) and replace the links in the code.
That's it !
I hope that helps you...

Why does my main content moving up and down just like a staircase. So in tab no 1, the content is in the correct position, but while I click tab no 2, the content move down a little, and it just keep moving down whenever I click the next button, yet while click the previous one, the content goes up?
