JavaScript

// Build some basic UI tabs
//
// Desired behavior:
//
// When user clicks a tab
//    that tab becomes marked as "active"
//    any other active tabs are no longer active
//    the related div (by id) is displayed
//    any other unrelated divs are hidden
//
// Hint:
//    You'll use the "click" event, and delegation is best

$('.tabbed ul li').on('click', function(){
    $('ul li').removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
    var tabID = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
    $('div div').hide();
    $(tabID).show();
   
});
