Great Add-on! Great Support!
http://www.chaplaincyinstitute.org... (once it's launched in mid-July 2012). * See far below for tips on accomplishing graphical tabs.
His add-on works great, except it wasn't supported in IE7 due to IE7 jQuery issues. Although IE7 is on its way out (I think end of 2012, MS is forcing upgrades to IE8), my client needed some form of IE7 support. Within a few hours of emailing him, John created a custom template based on his "jQuery UI with Body" so that Magic Tabs content would appear in a functional form (as content, rather than tabs) in IE7.
To sum up, this add-on works flawlessly and the amazing support from John has been quick, detailed and beyond what I expected. Thank you John!
* And now for the graphical tabs trick:
Indent the text on the tabs so they are still indexed, but are not seen, and add the tab graphics as background images on the pseudo-class selectors for links. Below are the styles you can use as a starting point. Note some of the classes and values are unique to my site and must be changed.
#mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.jl_magic_tabs_ix_4 a:link, #mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.jl_magic_tabs_ix_4 a:visited {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:152px;
height:80px;
background:url(images/tabs.png) 0 -240px no-repeat;
}
#mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.jl_magic_tabs_ix_4 a:hover, #mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.jl_magic_tabs_ix_4 a:active {
background:url(images/tabs.png) -152px -240px no-repeat;
}
#mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li.jl_magic_tabs_ix_4.ui-tabs-selected a {
padding-bottom:0;
border:none;
background:url(images/tabs.png) -152px -240px no-repeat;
}
#mainContent .jl_magic_tabs_main.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li a {
text-indent:-9999px;
}

Very useful add-on. Great support!
I had the need for a look quite different to what the supplied templates delivered. After my forum post John replied within a few hours and helped a lot with his answer.
The new 'self_contained_starter' template in version 1.1 is just what I was looking for as a starting point.

So easy - a must-have for my sites
Oh My G..... LOVE!
Now if you would like to somehow integrate vertical tabs into this, hey, I'd buy it.
Won't be the last time I buy this.

Great beginner add-on
Thank you, JohntheFish.

Better alternative to easy tabs
1.1.0.1 -
great for desktop pc based sites

Easy to use
Each tab behaves like a page : one can add different blocks the same way we add blocks on a page ! (A tab is like a page in a page)
Here :
http://laboiteaphysique.fr/site/la-boite-idees/physique-au-quotidie...
you can see two rows made of four tabs each.
Magic Tabs allow me to reduce the size of a page.
In conclusion : a very good addon !
Seemless, easy to use and great support
