Javascript Course

There are various scripts to create tab effect, many of them use jQuery or other JavaScript framework, but I wanted to make one by myself.
In this page is a script for tabs effect created with HTML, CSS, and pure JavaScript.
The innovation in this code is the fact that if the page is refreshed, it will keep displayed the last active /opened tab. For this feature it uses the sessionStorage JavaScript object. If you want to not use this feature, just comment /delete this line of code:
sessionStorage.setItem('activetab', this.id);
- Here is the complete code: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (click on the code to select it).
