Anyone done a AC7 site like Apple - i.e. tabbed?

[NC Software]

Hello,

I have a new web site theme that is similar to the apple layout, i.e. tabbed elements with a separate buy now screen. Notice how http://www.apple.com/imac/ has Design, Features, Performance...Buy Now? This is what I want to do by separating the content areas into a standard separation like this then have the purchase (kit selections) on its own content page.

Curious if anyone has done a theme like this and what's involved to get the product page broken into areas like this?

On the Apple site, they are showing each tab as a new HTML page in the address bar, and the "Buy Now" button goes to a completely different part of the site. How they have it setup, you would essentially have webpages talking about the products, and then a link to that product in your store. I assume that you would rather have all of the tabs come from the single product page.

I haven't done this, but I think you would have to have a pretty customized Show Product Content scriptlet and the Conlib controls to go with it. Off the top of my head, I would have each tab in its own <div> or <asp:Panel> that is shown or hidden (via javascript or ASP.NET) dynamically. One tricky part is that there would be <div>s in both the product description (for every product) and <div>s in the BuyProductDialog ConLib control, each needing the ability to be hidden or shown in the main part of the page. It might be a little messy, but I'm sure it is possible.

I think that some experience with HTML and javascript would be enough to get this done, but I think one of the AC customizers that post on this forum (Web2Market, Plugables, etc) has a tabbed product info add-on that might also be a good place to start.

Thanks, I reviewed it again after posting this and saw they are just using separate pages. I would use the separate page concept for all the information tabs, then the AC product page as the landing page for the Buy Now link. We'll see how it goes
