The Spry Tabbed Panels provide an alternative method of displaying content to the Spry Accordion. While the accordion provides a vertical method of displaying and hiding content, the Spry Tabbed Panels provide similar functionality, but in a horizontal format. While everyone might not agree with my opinion, I feel that the Tabbed Panels provide a more natural method of displaying related content than the accordion. The tabs across the top of the panel seem to lead you from one section to the next with greater fluidity than the accordion. The Tabbed Panels provide a natural way to break down flowing content, from breaking down form data into specific sections to categorising content and breaking down guides into a flowing process.
