Which coding would be best?

[inna_chy]

Hi all,

I am trying to build a personal non-business website. Because of the idea that lead to the idea I'd like to format it along the lines of tabbed file folders, with each tab being a different section.

Would C++ be the best/most viable option to get this particular look? Possibly by creating a boarder-less table at the top (or side) of the screen and just insert the graphic of the tab so that without any of the lines or boarders it would match the same color background of the main page and look like a file folder?

And, since it's been something like 4 years since I've so much as looked at web designing, is there a simple, straight foreword sight that covers the vocabulary, other basics, and possibly gives examples of what it looks like when it's done?

Thanks in advance for any help.

C++ is not really used for web stuff, for the most part your going to need to design the tabs using a graphics editor and use javascript to detect when one is clicked on. If your looking into doing database lookups on the backend or something .net or java or php will be needed but just to get a tabbed menu is going to be graphics and javascript

Sorry... Not C++, CSS.

The example you gave is the general idea of the design layout, but page wide with only a portion that scrolls. Will Java allow that without being very cumbersome?

CSS are just style sheets, you could set one up to look like a tabbed interface. You could use VB to make a java applet.

What's VB?

VB = acronym for Visual Basic.

Is it only Diamond Edge who do a VB-to-Java-Applet Converter?
Are there any other similar tools?
