display content above labels using radio tabs - CSS only? - html

Question

I am trying to display the content ABOVE the tab labels when clicked. Is there a simple way to do this? Maybe using CSS only? When placing the content div above the label the page breaks... Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

If your complete design allows for it, you could assign a fixed height and min-width to the content area. Then you will be able to position the tabs by adding a negative value to their bottom property.
.tab label {
background: #eee;
left: 1px;
margin-left: -1px;
padding: 10px;
position: relative;
/*--- Updated value ---*/
bottom: -149px;
}
...
.content {
background: white;
left: 0;
/*--- Updated values ---*/
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
min-width: 350px;
/*----*/
padding: 20px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
