Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Buttons are not tabs. Tabs are not bottons, Tabs aer simply links, not form elements.
They behave different and look different (though with CSS that is not really true).
Hence we should either replace the buttons with tabs, or else rename "tabs" to buttons in the UI.
In addition to that last option we could add a real tabs feature.

fagoyep, they are just "tab-like submit buttons" as they are just ordered like tabs.
I don't want to remove them by real tabs, because we would loose the possibility to submit the form through them, but perhaps we can do that with some javascript magic too?
I don't like if one needs javascript to use a site, but in this case there would also be the Forward/back buttons under the form.
Are there more opinions on this?

(x) render all steps as page buttons
(x) render all steps as tabs
I.e. add one more option to the list you already have (in radios; or checkboxen) wich allows one to also render tabs (MENU_LOCAL_TASKs)
