tabular navigation using only css - css

Question

I have a tabular navigation list (with the styles I choose for) in an external file contains the following code:
.tabs
{
position:relative;
text-align:left; /* This is only if you want the tab items at the center */
width: 90%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
/*border: 1px solid green;*/
}
.tabs ul.menu
{
list-style-type:none;
display:block; /* Change this to block or inline for non-center alignment */
width:570px;
/* min-width:570px;
max-width:800px;
vertical-align: bottom;
/*border: 1px solid red;*/
}
.tabs ul.menu > li
{
display:inline;
float:center;
vertical-align: bottom;
/** border: 1px solid yellow;*/
cursor:hand;
}
.tabs ul.menu li > a
{
color:#7a7883;
text-decoration:none;
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
border:1px solid #f1f3f4;
padding:5px 10px 5px 10px;
width: 25%;
font-size:15px;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
border-top-left-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:4px; -webkit-border-top-left-radius:5px;
border-top-right-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius-topright:4px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius:5px;
-moz-user-select:none;
cursor:hand;
/* Safari 4-5, Chrome 1-9 */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#fff), to(#aeb8c0));
/* Safari 5.1, Chrome 10+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #aeb8c0, #fff);
/* Firefox 3.6+ */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #aeb8c0, #fff);
/* IE 10 */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #aeb8c0, #fff);
/* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #aeb8c0, #fff);
}
.tabs ul.menu li > a:hover
{
color: #fff;
cursor:hand;
}
.tabs ul.menu li > div
{
display:none;
position:absolute;
width:98%;
/* max-width:700px;*/
min-height:230px;
left:0;
margin: 0 15px 0 15px;
z-index:-1;
text-align:left;
padding:0;
}
.tabs ul.menu li > div > p
{
border:1px solid #f1f3f4;
background-color: #f5f9fc;
width: 99%;
padding:10px;
margin:0;
color: #65636e;
font-size:12px;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
text-decoration: none;
min-height:200px;
}
.tabs ul.menu li > a:focus
{
color: #f5f9fc;
}
.tabs ul.menu li:target > a
{
cursor:default;
/* Safari 4-5, Chrome 1-9 */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#f1f3f4), to(#fff));
/* Safari 5.1, Chrome 10+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #f1f3f4);
/* Firefox 3.6+ */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #f1f3f4);
/* IE 10 */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #f1f3f4);
/* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #f1f3f4);
cursor:hand;
}
.tabs ul.menu li:target > div
{
display:block;
}
and in the web page I have this:
<!-- Side NAVIGATION -->
<!-- Wrapper 2-Content -->
<div class="wrapper" style="min-height: 200px;"">
<!-- content -->
<div class="content">
<div class="tabs">
<ul class="menu">
<li id="item-1">
Bla Bla 1
<div><p>Tab Content 1</p></div>
</li>
<li id="item-2">
Bla Bla 2
<div><p>Tab Content 2</p></div>
</li>
<li id="item-3">
Bla Bla 3
<div><p>Tab Content 3</p></div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- content -->
<!-- end of Side NAVIGATION -->
All goes fine except that it displays the tabs only without the box where the content should appear. I want one of the contents to be visible as default. I just don't know how to activated it without using javaScript.
Thank you in advanced.

Answer 1

add display : block as style for the div which u want to display by default. For example see this fiddle I hv created for making item1 visible on run http://jsfiddle.net/X6Agf/
<div style="display:block"><p>Tab Content 1</p></div>
