Tabs in Joomla 3.0 - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi,

i've noticed when using functions jhtmltabs create tabs in administration area, like:

code: select all

echo jhtml::_('tabs.start', 'my-tabs', array('usecookie' => 1));
echo jhtml::_('tabs.panel', 'tab1', 'tab1');
etc.

the functionality there, tabs working, css styles not defined in joomla 3.0. i've noticed core components don't use jhtmltabs anymore, want component compatible both joomla 2.5 , 3.0, don't need maintain 2 different versions.
is there way have tabs working both in joomla 2.5 , 3.0 same code?

thanks

that might not simple since joomla 3.0 uses twitter bootstrap render elements including forms , tabs.

also joomla 3.0 has new filters not compatible joomla 2.x -- maintaining compatibility 2 versions in 1 component might prove more straneous maintaining 2 different components each version.
