Huh ? Please clarify --> what do you mean with tabs + what's it gotta do with ASP?

yeah raf,

take a look at the attached image, the General, Network Identification, Hardware, User Profiles and Advanced are all tabs, that is what am asking if it is possible using ASP?

I see.

ASP is serversided. It computes, transforms, interacts with databases, and then prepairs some output that can be read by yhe browser (html, javascipt etc) So everything that can be hand-coded can be generated using ASP. If you'de find some javascript or a java-applet that generates this sort of thing (should be plenty of those), then you could use ASP to provide the parameters values and send it to the browser. Or you could try creating a similar effect by using <div>'s with a 'show on click' script. the top, tab-bar made up of <div>'s, would always be visible and would contain an image (possably as background). If you click it, another <div> will be shown under the tab-bar, with a backgroundimage the size of the floating box to create the 'illusion' that the box in the tab-bar and the one under it, are 1 screenelement.
All you ythen need to do is create the floating boxes and send them to the browser.
