CSS horizontal "tabs" model with iframe panels

hello,

is there any free code out there for developing a "tabs" based interface, using individual iframes as the content panels below?

essentially i need to have a set of div/text "tabs" above a content pane, which would be one of a set of hidden iframes. the other (perhaps most annoying) requirement is to have the currently selected tab being seemless with (no border between) the content pane, whereas there would effectively be a line between the tabs and the content pane below otherwise.

in theory it's brain-dead easy, but i've found that IE/mozilla inconsistencies are killing me. for instance, in my current design, mozilla has my iframe panels show up in the upper-left corner of the first/leftmost tab when made visible(!)

any suggestions are greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Sorry, no takers so far, chritophre. I think you're right - this should be very easy.

You may have to wade into the issues you're finding and debug. First find and fix non-valid code and then discover specific work-arounds.

The W3C validators will be your first tool of importance. You can't be sure that you've got a real browser bug unless you know the mark-up is valid in the first place.
