Thread:Extension talk:Header Tabs/ Request Some minor details...

I have noticed a few things I wish worked a bit differently. This extension is the backbone of one of one of my wikis and I hope progress continues with it, but so far so good! If I could help code this, I'd dig into it, but until then, some simple requests:

switchtablink template functionality

 * the call for #switchtablink is a bit long winded. Maybe in addition to #switchtablink, we could have #tab as an alternative. Obviously, we'd leave the old call for backwards compatibility.
 * Also, the order of the parameters doesn't conform to the same as  . Converting a mass of   into with   is therefore a bit more frustrating. Suggest changing

to and

('x' added to the call to denote an external or cross-wiki page.)

jquery tab rendering problems

 * The Edit link for " " is unstable in that the link seems highly variable as to where it will lead. I haven't dug enough to figure out what it's doing, but it's not right. I generally end up placing identical h1 and h2 tags within the  page to avoid problems.


 * The placement of that first edit link screws with the tab rendering if the top row of tabs spans the full width of the screen viewing the page (or if there's more than 1 row.) Since the edit link is floating there on the right, when the last tab on first row is too close to it, it skews the layout placing whitespace between rows, some rows only holding a single tab, and some rows tabs begin 'off left-align'. Also noted, when certain tabs are selected, it goes back to normal pretty layout, and then another is selected it looks all jangled again.
