    <para>As it was mentioned <link linkend="tabPanel">above</link>, <property>tabPanel</property> groups content on panels and
      performs switching from one to another. Hence, modes of switching between panels are described
      first of all.</para>
    <note><title>Note:</title><para> All <property>tabPanels</property> should be wrapped into a form
      element so as content is correctly submitted inside. If a form is placed into each tab, the
      Action elements of Tab controls appear to be out of the form and content submission inside the
      panels could be performed only for Action components inside tabs.</para></note>
    <para>Switching mode could be chosen with the <property>tabPanel</property> attribute <emphasis>

      </emphasis> with three possible parameters.</para>

    <para>As a result, the <property>tabPanel</property> is switched to the second tab according to

    <para>There is also the <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;selectedTab&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute. The attribute keeps an active tab name; therefore, an active
        <property>tabPanel</property> could be changed with setting a name of the necessary tab to
      this attribute.</para>
    <para>There is also the <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;headerAlignment&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute responsible for rendering of <property>tabPanel</property> components.
      The attribute has several values: left (Default), right, center, which specify Tabs components
      location on the top of the tabPanel.</para>

      The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;label&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute is a generic attribute.
      The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;label&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute provides an association between a component, and the message that the component (indirectly) produced.  
      This attribute defines the parameters of localized error and informational messages that
      occur as a result of conversion, validation, or other application actions during the request
      processing lifecycle. With the help of this attribute you can  replace the
      last parameter substitution token shown in the messages. For example, {1} for “DoubleRangeValidator.MAXIMUM”, {2}
      for “ShortConverter.SHORT”.
    </para>
    <para>Except the specific attributes, the component has all necessary attributes for JavaScript
      events definition.</para>
