"i.e." = "in other words" or "like this" is what I meant. "e.g." = "for
example", would have worked as well

Yup!

Well... "tab" is about as specific as I can get as the page is generated
dynamically and it's for a "tab" on the page, used to select a group of
related data. I guess "page" would have worked as well.
I was just hoping to build a CSS template. Later, when I was designing a
webpage, I would copy the template into the working directory and just add
the elements from the page, referring to the existing elements in the
template.
In other words, my template would already have a "tab" style defined. When I
put the template to use I would add my custom element definitions (
"index_tab", "useredit_tab", etc.) specific to my webpage, relatingthem it
to the already existing "tab" definition found in my template.
