Excellent - I'll give that a go! If we don't have to call on an additional javascript things should load must faster

We thought it would be useful to contribute to this discussion by showing you how you can leverage AdobeĀ®'s Spry framework, which ships with ProductCart, to accomplish this.
So we created a WIKI article on this topic: http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/display_product_description_tabs In future ProductCart releases, we will try to build the ability to have a tabbed layout for the product description into our shopping cart so that the feature becomes more accessible. However, don't be scared. Read the WIKI article and follow the simple instructions it contains and you will see that even today, this is quite easy to accomplish without having programming skills. Try it out and let us know what you think! Here is a visual example of using Spry Tabbed Panels for the product description (out of the box, without editing the CSS): |

Hi Cauglan, thanks for the info. Your web design skills really show - nice looking site :-)
It's a very good point about having to put HTML in the descriptions. |

I'm actually looking at a couple of new tabbed options right now - the tabber one takes a little long to load sometimes and people leave the page without seeing it there. I'm in the midst of a complete redesign.
I've sent Yukiko the info on how I did this, and in fact I do add the html to the description for each and every product - it would be a big headache for someone with more products than i have - plus I have a background in web design before I started a skin care company. If the products had to be maintained by somone who just wants to plug in a paragraph it would be a challange. |

Here is a PC store that I recently came across that does include tabbed product detail content http://www.julietsroom.com/store/pc/MILK-HONEY-br-Vanilla-Cardamom-Organic-Lotion-65p173.htm
In the past I have built a non-PC store that similarly used a tabbed product page. The approach I took was to isolate the content for each tab into separately editable fields in the product table so that they could be independently maintained and formatted. All the code to present the tabbed content is built into the product detail page and CSS.
Others may not share this view, but I would be very apprehensive about trying to manage HTML and the necessary Javascript coding, plus the tabbed content itself, all in the long description. That sounds like a nightmare trying to maintain.
You may wish to contact the owner of www.julietsroom.com and learn how her store was altered to support that layout.

I'd like to improve somehow the long description layout. For now, the layout uses simple html and css. The content of the decsprion is quite large, so if possible, I'd like to setup few tabs and organize the content. example: http://www.wholelattelove.com/features.cfm?itemID=39#anchor I'm wondering if it's good idea to write a html code with dreamweaver and paste the code to the admin product detail page, since the code would be quite complicated.
If anybody has a suggestions to improve the description area, please give me an advise.
Thanks.
