JavaScript/jQuery Tab Panel - Templates

This demo illustrates the use of templates in JavaScript TabPanel. If your data objects contain custom fields, you need to specify the itemTitleTemplate and itemTemplate that define how to display the fields in tabs and views.

If you want each tab and view to have differently structured content, define individual templates. To do this, assign an array of objects to the items[] or dataSource property and specify the tabTemplate and template properties in each object. This use case is illustrated in the following tutorial: Getting Started with JavaScript TabPanel.

Use the following properties to configure user navigation between tabs:

swipeEnabled
Defines whether to switch between views with a swipe gesture.
loop
Specifies whether to loop views.
animationEnabled
Specifies whether to animate transition between views.

You can switch the checkboxes below the JavaScript TabPanel to change the loop, animationEnabled, and swipeEnabled property values.
