Right-click on Selected  file -> copy and paste it inside <Head> section of your page; see step 5.

Step 5: Let us see the script code which you have to add inside the <script></script> tags and that will be placed either in <head> section or the <body> section as you prefer.

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>

Step 6: In this step we have to write the jQuery code which is given below.


<script type="text/javascript">

         $(document).ready(function () {
            $("a.tab").click(function () {
               $(".active").removeClass("active");

                $(this).addClass("active");

                $(".content").slideUp();

                 var content_show = $(this).attr("title");

                $("#" + content_show).slideDown();
            });
        });
</script>

Step 7: In this step you will see the body code of the Default2.aspx page which is given below.

Code

<body >

<div id="tabbed_box_1" class="tabbed_box">

       <h4>C-Sharpcorner.com <small>Select a Tab</small></h4>

    <div class="tabbed_area">
       <ul class="tabs">

            <li><a href="#" title="content_2" class="tab">Teachnology</a></li>

            <li><a href="#" title="content_3" class="tab">Authors</a></li>

         </ul>
        <div id="content_1" class="content">

              <ul>

            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
