1 Introduction
pinTab gives you the possibility to create web based applications with the same look and feel as desktop
applications.
The navigation area allows selecting between different tabs that contains any web page.
The split area can be loaded from the navigation area or accessed to modify content.
1.1 Fundamentals
pinTab allows easy tab creation with high quality design especially in IMAGE mode.
To make the design easy the tab area is not based on HTML content but on URL.
That makes it easy to use any web page like HTML, ASPX or others.
