I've got a data entry form where a user optionally puts data in a couple sections. It's too big to fit on-screen, so currently it's a multi-column, spreadsheet-style form.

First, before I even chase this and waste everybody's time, is using tabs a good way to make a form that'd otherwise scroll through multiple sections?

To make it easier to use I'm thinking about using tabs. I've found a couple examples and can display the tabs fine, but I"m having trouble understanding how to do the interaction between the form and php. The list is a set of hrefs like

<li><a href="abcdform.php">a</a></li>
<li id="selected"><a href="#">b</a></li>

I can see that the first li is going to jump to "abcdform.php", but what does the "#" in the second li do?

I want this to be a single php file with the html in it and a single php file with all the code. How do I get php to know what tab was hit? I"m generating the table rows and data in the php so how do I get the right rows of data into the right tab section?
