Having tabs has been big on my list of web dialog needs.
Now I just have to figure out better buttons, and how to make tabels better.....wow I suck at html.
This was my learning-how, so I did not payed attention on design. There are plenty of css examples for different tab design. Some examples here:http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ You can use images for buttons, if you like. Unfortunately IE doesn't support round corners (just firefox).

How do you get the console to push the result into the VCB?
#INPUT THIS IN Ruby Console
Sketchup.vcb_value = 5*3
#THIS WILL RETURN 15 IN VCB

That's great. I'll play around with when get a chance.

I'm not sure that css is in its best form, if somebody can make it better, please upload here. Thanks.

Has there ever been a Ruby Calculator developed that could do basic math functions, remember a constant, and do Unit conversions and then take the results drop them into the VCB and/or to the windows clipboard?
I was thinking it could be useful to use with Certain tools or scripts that don't recognized all units of measure.
You can simply use Ruby Console for that. 
A very basic WebDialog with tabs.
I think this can be usefull. Modify as you wish for your needs.

I'm not sure you can do it without using javascript. But, it's really not difficult to do.
For a single page design, you could have a div for each tab. Then use javascript to switch the css class of the divs on click. You might have a css "visible" class and a "hidden" class.
document.getElementById("divId").className = "hidden";
And for a multipage design, could this be implemented?
Hy, I'm trying to add tabs in a webdialog and in each tab I want different content, but I'm not sure yet that different content will be a different file, or same file, but different div.
I managed to make some tabs in css, but I have no idea how to implement this in webdialog because wd are a little more trickier than ordinary html pages.
If JS is a better choice to make tabs, I'll stick on that, if you guys will teach me how to do it.
I've attached here the files...

There will be no way to believe a photo now.
Well... since last computation capability and last rendering engines, you can not believe a photo... We have now stronger ways to lie each others... Isn't this the reason why human ways of communication are so complex? Whales can't lie... 
If we complain about Ruby, what AutoCAD users say about Lisp?

Does SU Ruby support RubyGems package installer? Can it be loaded?
Is SU Ruby 1.8 supported by this package? (They wrote that it runs on 1.9)Otherwise seems to be a nice package.
You can use every feature you want in SU, just add proper files and pay attention to how you make requirements. If it works in Sketchup's ruby version, I don't know... I just posted this here because I thought somebody might be interested.
What you think about this?

As I leaned since now, in ruby, variables don't store data, instead they are pointing to value. But I don't know if class variables have pointers or not? Do they are static or dynamic?
@jim said:
For a typical plugin that uses a module strictly as a namespace, an instance variable (@anytyhing) can be thought of as "global" within the module.
I think a class variable will have the same visibility when used the same way in a module, but for a different reason.
Before starting this post (and that was the reason for the post), I had some problems with instance/class variables. I noticed that instance variables act something like "globals" inside a module, but something strange happened with class variables. I could not acces class variables from outside class. I am not sure yet what was the cause...
@cjthompson said:
ok. just tested with a clean plugins folder and the ones I listed are still there.
How do you use .methods ? I tried Sketchup.methods and it woeked, but several tries gave me errors.
Sorry. Figured out how
@cjthompson said:
This is probably a pretty stupid question, but do you know if there are any policies in sketchup against using core ruby code?
The reason I'm asking is because of .methods. This allows you to see all the public methods of an object.I noticed some undocumented methods, and was wondering if they were purposefully left undocumented, or just overlooked.
Well, tell us about them!
I want to select several component instances in my model, based on name, and group them in a bigger component.
Something like this:
Component#1 |
Component#2 |--> Parent_Component
Component#3 |
Test#1 |
Test#2 |
Test#3 |--> Parent_Test
Test#4 |
Test#5 |
But I really don't understand how. I thought I have to use entities.add_instance method, but I can't make it work. And there is a Transformation attribute which I don't understand. All I can do is to add a New empty component definition in model.
Any help, please? Thanks.

Adding "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" looks like this:
[attachment=0:1ma73d3a]<!-- ia0 -->cgScenes no scroll 002.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:1ma73d3a]
but the webdialog is on the local drive so I don't see the big deal. But please let me know if there is one!
Same thing happens to me. So, I used your version of !DOCTYPE
It's not a rendering... just a old picture made by me. To complete yours

But you don't use !DOCTYPE, right? Paste this on the top of your Html page and tell me if overflow works for you. Also your window border...
