[support] Creating Tabbed Listings Pages

[Steve Edwards]

Not too obvious at all.  I hadn't thought about that method at all.  I know how to make tabbed pages in a module, but I was hoping 
     there was an easier way to do it, especially since I'm not a theme guru.  I'll take a look at the JavaScript Tools project.

But let's say that I take the theme approach.  I know how to add regions to a theme, so that's not a big deal.  Can you jog my 
memory on how I would theme them as tabs?  Would I create them as an inline list and add borders and background?

Thanks.
