jQuery Responsive Tabs Plugin

jQuery plugin for creating responsive tabs. The controls behave like regular tabs above a specified screen width (defined by an editable media query in the associated css file), and behave like an accordion on screens below that width.

Key features

• Progressive enhancement – uses semantic heading/content markup – tabs and accordion are created entirely with jQuery
• Uses Aria attributes and roles to aid screen reader accessibility
• Tabs and their content are fully accessible via keyboard
• Supports multiple sets of tabs on same page

How to use

• Include jQuery (requires minimum jquery-1.5.1.min.js)
• Include responsiveTabs.js
• Include the css from responsive-tabs.css, and adjust the media query breakpoint as desired

• Markup your tabs regions as follows:

<div class="responsive-tabs">
    <h2>[...]</h2>
    <div>[...]</div>
    <h2>[...]</h2>
    <div>[...]</div>
</div>

The headings can be any level, from h1 to h6. Note that the first (leftmost) tab panel will be open by default in 'tab view', while all panels will be closed in 'accordion view' (ie. below the specified breakpoint). If you want a specific tab other than the first to be open by default then add the additional class 'responsive-tabs__panel--active' onto the panel, eg:

<div class="responsive-tabs">
        <h2>[...]</h2>
        <div>[...]</div>
        <h2>[...]</h2>
        <div class="responsive-tabs__panel--active">[...]</div>
</div>

• On document ready, call the function RESPONSIVEUI.responsiveTabs() to create the tabs
