Thanks for the replies. I think a lightbulb went on in my head this
afternoon and maybe I'm beginning to understand these widgets. To get the
form to span tab pages I created a new class over FieldSet called
TabularFieldSet and modified the template so that it displays the
label/field in a table instead of in-line like it does normally. I still
have some tweaking to do so the names come through correctly, but at least I
think I'm getting a better grasp of things.

Subject: [TurboGears] Re: Tabber
The widget browser is decieving. To get the tabber "magic" to happen
the tabber widget must be returned from the controller. The class
given in the browser is just an example of the usage. Ie. TabW is not
a class you would use.
You want to do something like this:
from turbogears.widgets import Tabber
tabberWidget = Tabber()
@expose(...)
def tabTest(self, *args, **kw):
return dict(tabber=tabberWidget)
Then use the tabber by just assigning divs to the tabbertab class
within a tabber div like this:
<div id="tabber" class="tabber">
<div class="tabbertab"><h2>Tab 1</h2></div>
<div class="tabbertab"><h2>Tab 2</h2></div>
<div class="tabbertab"><h2>Tab 3</h2></div>
</div>
You don't actually need to "display" the tabber widget because its
really just a lot of css and javascript that is magically picked up by
turbogears and included in the HEAD section of your html page.
