I am creating a form in HTML that will have multiple tabs. I have a previous and next button to go through all the tabs as if they were pages. I also have circles at the bottom of the tab to inform the user what tab they are actively on and which tabs are next and which tabs were before. I would like each tab to be a link that when the user clicks on it will link them to it's respective tab. For example if I click on the tab circle labeled A it will bring me to the A tab. I tried using and internal link with anchor tags but that did not seem to work. Any idea? Thank you.
<style>
/* Style for Select */
/* Style the form */
#regForm {
background-color: #e9e9e9;
margin: 20px auto;
width: 70%;
min-width: 300px;
}
/* Make circles that indicate the steps of the form: */
.step {
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
margin: 0 2px;
background-color: #b8cce4;
border: none;
border-radius: 50%;
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0.5;
}
/* Mark the active step: */
.step.active {
opacity: 1;
}
/* Mark the steps that are finished and valid: */
.step.finish {
background-color: #b8cce4;
}
/*Used for blue background headings */
tr.blueHead {
background-color: #b8cce4;
}
