How to make jQuery UI tabs appear at the bottom of a page

Question

Is there some way to make the jQuery UI tab widget tabs appear at the bottom of a page? Using the example from the jQuery site:

Answer 1

Have you tried using CSS to move the tabs under the content area? I think thats what you are going for.

Answer 2

Unfortunately the 'tabs below content' example is no longer present in the jQuery documentation, so you can use the following CSS to reposition your jQuery UI tab controls:

#tabs { 
    position: relative; 
    padding-bottom: 3em; 
} 
#tabs .ui-tabs-nav { 
    position: absolute; 
    left: 0.25em; 
    right: 0.25em; 
    bottom: 0.25em; 
    padding: 0em 0.2em 0.2em; 
} 
#tabs .ui-tabs-nav li { 
    border-top: none; 
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; 
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px; 
    -webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px; 
    border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px; 
} 
#tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.ui-tabs-selected, 
#tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.ui-state-active { 
    top: -1px; 
}

This will position the tabs on the bottom on your #tabs container. If you want to keep a static height you can give your #tabs container a height value.

Note: the above CSS was adapted from Keith Wood's example.

In jquery UI 1.10.0 after changing order of list - it should be at the bottom of tab outline div, everything works perfect:

<div id="tabs">
        <div id="tabs-1">

        </div>
        <div id="tabs-2">

        </div>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#tabs-2">Tab2</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
