Thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried to set the style attribute... I'm not certain which style you are referring to (because there are several) but I have tried them all, I think. None of them allow me to apply a style to the generated <input>.
Here's what I've discovered:
Setting the style attrib on the "panelTabbedPane" tag applies a style to the generated <table> tag.
Setting the style attrib on the "panelTab" tag applies a style to a generated <span> tag that wraps the panel content.
Neither of those satify my need.
Interestingly, there are a couple of specialized attribs on the "panelTabbedPane" tag that allow us to access most of the nested elements, unfortunately not the one I'm looking for, but hey, they ARE nice to have... for instance:
Setting the "activeTabStyleClass" will allow access to styles on the containing table cell that houses the <input> tag I'm after. Close!
Setting the "activeSubStyleClass" actually gives us access to a small area just beneath the <input> tag I'm after. Close again!
But nothing I've found will let me change the style on the <input> itself, which, to me, seems like a more useful place for applying styles than the activeSubStyleClass... but then, I'm biased because it's the current problem I working on! ;-)
Again, I would welcome any ideas/comments.
Thanks again,
Bobby
Have you try setting the "style" attribute? If I understand it correctly that particular attribute is passed through directly to HTML.

Subject: t:panelTabbedPane tab <input> style
Hello All,
I'm trying to overcome a situation where the tabs (generated by t:panelTabbedPane) look like "buttons" when viewed in IE on XP using the "Windows XP Theme" (all of which are my clients standards). And they don't like the look of buttons on the tabs. If I could apply a style to the generated <input> the resolution would be easy, but I can't see a way to do this using the tags existing attribs. I can apply styles to the containing table cell... but not the input itself. So...
1. Is there currently a way to apply styles to the generated <input> on a tab (not the containing table cell, but the input itself) that I've missed?
2. Has anyone else had been faced with changing the look of the tabs <input>? Applying the style after it is rendered seems less than optimal.. but I'd like to hear ideas if you have them.
Thanks for your responses,
Bobby R
