 * This page works perfectly. I have one like this for 2016, 2015, and 2014.
 * What I want to do is have a horizontal menu that looks like this:
 * 2017 2016 2015 2014
 * When I click on a year it will bring up the corresponding tab so for example 
   if I click on 2017, the contents of the following page will be displayed. Any
   ideas?

 * Here is the code for this page:
 *     ```
       [su_tabs]
   
       [su_tab title="January"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-january"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="February"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-february"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="March"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-march"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="April"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-april"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="May"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-may"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="June"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-june"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="July"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-july"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="August"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-august"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="September"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-september"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="October"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-october"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="November"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-november"][/su_tab]
   
       [su_tab title="December"][xyz-ihs snippet="2017-december"][/su_tab]
   
       [/su_tabs]
       ```
   
 * If I wrap this code in a new tab it doesn’t work. Nothing is displayed.

 * I am having the same issue. Tabs worked great, now they are showing up a long
   list and not as tabs. I am also having the same issue with Carousel and Slideshow.
   I will open another ticket for those so this stays on topic about Tabs.

 * Looks like there might be two challenges here:
    1. The attribute [vertical=”No”]
   is missing in the initial opening [su_tabs vertical=”No”], and 2. The shortcode
   opening appears to be missing the number of tabs needed as an attribute. Try [
   su_tabs active=”12″ vertical=”No”].
 * Hope this helps,

 * My apologies! The “active” attribute is to designate which tab to leave open,
   not the total number of tabs. My bad!
