Material Style Tabs Component With JavaScript and CSS

A pretty, Material Design style tabs component built using vanilla JavaScript, CSS and CSS3 transitions & transforms.

How to use it:

Build the tabbed contents and navigation as follows.

<div class="material-tabs">
  <div class="tabbed-section__selector">
    <a class="tabbed-section__selector-tab-1 active" href="#">Tab 1</a>
    <a class="tabbed-section__selector-tab-2" href="#">Tab 2</a>
    <a class="tabbed-section__selector-tab-3" href="#">Tab 3</a>
    <span class="tabbed-section__highlighter"></span>
  </div>

  <div class="tabbed-section-1 visible">
    Section 1
  </div>
  <div class="tabbed-section-2 hidden">
    Section 2
  </div>
  <div class="tabbed-section-3 hidden">
    Section 3
  </div>
</div>
