Thanks, guys :) I agree with the fear of losing sight of when/how to use tabs when a client may be like, "hey, that is a GREAT solution to what I want!" instead of thinking, "hmm, maybe I want too much?"
I'm looking to produce some variations in the wireframes: tabs, no tabs, just to cover my bases. I had a couple of direct responses not shown here, each supporting the use of tabs as a newish pattern. In one response, I like how he likened tabs to the use of 'drawers' when trying to organize a tangible environment, e.g., one's office. That is, when papers and content are floating all about the room, wouldn't we want a way to group the items together for ease of access? I always like tangible metaphors, though. Again, thanks, and I welcome other thoughts on this as well :) -Jennifer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
