Creating Tabbed Panes in Listings is not working. Why?

Hi 

I created my new template according to the guidelines given in Replacing active content.

I created tab panes in my page but when i preview, it doesn't show the tabs instead it just shows the radio buttons.

I used the same code used in the page http://pages.ebay.com/sell/itemdescription/bestpractices.html#TabbedPanesBestPractice

 

any help would be appreciated..

 

Thanks

eBay's sample code does not contain the <style> tags that should surround the CSS code.   If you have a listing number, I can verify if that is the problem.

</main>

<! -- CSS code -->
<style>
main {
  min-width: 320px;
  max-width: 400px;
•
•
•
@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
  label {
	padding: 15px;
  }
}
</style>

Thanks for the reply.
I used the <style> tag in the html content.
This is my listing number 361971434993.

That very large twitter stylesheet is controlling most of your page. You'll need to give the radio buttons classnames to make them unique, and then address those classes in the stylesheet. Like this:

 

/**** Tabs ***/
.section {
  display: none;
  padding: 20px 0 0;
  border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
}
input.termstabs  {
  display: none;
}
<input class="termstabs" id="tab1" type="radio" name="tabs" checked="">
<label for="tab1">Room Amenities</label>
<input class="termstabs" id="tab2" type="radio" name="tabs">
<label for="tab2">Hotel Amenities</label>

Whether or not it's allowed, it's a very bad idea. We already see a number of complaints about buyers not fully reading descriptions, so there should be no reason to expect them to click multiple tabs. With more and more using mobile devices, they may never see the description at all and make their decisions on the title alone.

Listings should be as informative as possible using as little page space as possible, but definitely ALL on one page/tab.


Now aside from all that, you set income, age, language, ID and other requirements including sitting in on a 90 minute to 2 hours sales pitch?

OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Ship doesn't like it when I go off-topic, but in my opinion, those restrictions are pretty offensive, especially when you get into maximum age limitations.

I'm not sure they're allowed here. Or even legal.
