SharePoint Tab Web Part JQuery, Java, and CSS

I have been searching for a simple tab web part for SharePoint but mostly came up empty handed… I was looking for something that a user can easily drag and drop a web part onto a specific tab within the page. There are quite a few free tab web parts out there but most of them were not just quite what I wanted. I checked out the following Tab web part solutions.

If you copy an object and past it on another page it places it in the same horizontal and vertical location from where you copied if from. In the past I had to create a temporary box and place it in the upper left corner of the page > copy both objects > paste those objects on another page and then line the temp. box back up in the upper left corner… I feel like I am in one of those Windows 7 Commercials. “I had this vision one day of Copying and Pasting an object and having it paste into the same location on another page. The next thing I know Microsoft released Visio 2010. I’m a PC and Visio 2010 was my Idea…” This not only works going from page to page but from one Visio do
