Setting up GridTab is really simple

HTML Markup

Your markup should look something like this

<dl id="gridtab-1">
	<dt>Tab 1</dt>
	<dd>Tab 1 Description</dd>
	<dt>Tab 2</dt>
	<dd>Tab 2 Description</dd>
	<dt>Tab 3</dt>
	<dd>Tab 3 Description</dd>
	<dt>Tab 4</dt>
	<dd>Tab 4 Description</dd>
	<dt>Tab 5</dt>
	<dd>Tab 5 Description</dd>
	<dt>Tab 6</dt>
	<dd>Tab 6 Description</dd>
</dl>

Where, <dt> contains the title of the tab nad <dd> contains the description to be shown on click.

Stylesheet

Just add a link to the css file in your :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="gridtab.min.css"/>

jQuery Plugin

Then, before your closing <body> tag add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="gridtab.min.js"></script>

and initialize the plugin as shown below:

<script>
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#gridtab-1').gridtab({
			grid:3
		});
	});
</script>

Where grid is the number of grids/tabs in a row

Responsive Example

The responsive settings is where you reset the grids and other properties at a given breakpoint.

$('#gridtab-1').gridtab({
	grid:5,
	contentPadding: 40,
	responsive:[{
		breakpoint: 1024,
		settings:{
			grid:3,
			contentPadding: 30
		}
	},{
		breakpoint:767,
		settings:{
			grid:2,
			contentPadding: 25
		}
	},{
		breakpoint:520,
		settings:{
			grid:1,
			contentPadding: 20
		}
	}]
});

All properties under basic settings like: borderWidth, tabPadding, tabBorderColor, contentBorderColor, contentPadding, contentBackground and activeTabBackground, can be updated with the responsive settings.
