Tab-navigation: Tabs are made with <ul class=”nav nav-tabs”> and we use the <li class=”active”> element to mark the current page. To fix the position of navigation tab style, position: fixed; property is used.

Syntax:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
    <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link active" href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a>
    </li>
    . . .
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home">content....</div>
    . . .
</div>

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

            <h3>HTML Introduction</h3>
             
<p>
                HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
                It is used to design web pages using markup
                language. HTML is the combination of Hypertext
                and Markup language. Hypertext defines the link
                between the web pages. Markup language is used
                to define the text document within tag which
                defines the structure of web pages. This language
                is used to annotate (make notes for the computer)
                text so that a machine can understand it and
                manipulate text accordingly. Most of markup
                (e.g. HTML) languages are human readable.
                Language uses tags to define what manipulation
                has to be done on the text.

            <h3>CSS Introduction</h3>
             
<p>
                Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS,
                is a simply designed language intended to simplify
                the process of making web pages presentable. CSS
                allows you to apply styles to web pages. More
                importantly, CSS enables you to do this independent
                of the HTML that makes up each web page. CSS is easy
                to learn and understood but it provides powerful
                control over the presentation of an HTML document.
