Hi,
I'm setting up a drupal website. The website is intended to be a searchable human resources intranet. Each personal entry should have its 'personal data', 'academic data', etc. I would like it to work in the following way:
- The possibility of creating and accesing a tabbed content such as the one you can see when you browse the Drupal Search page (i.e. several tabs such as 'Content', 'Users', 'Issues', etc.).
- On each tab I want the user to be presented with a different webform to fill with data and submit it.
- I want this tabbed content to be interrelated, I mean the different tabs will show the following 'Personal data tab', 'Educational background tab', 'Work experience tab' all related to an individual. Each tab with its own form to fill the data. All this data will belong to a single individual, in order to build his complete Curriculum Vitae.
I found myself a bit lost with the proper approach in order to implement this structure and the most appropiate categories and types of content, also the most convenient modules to use. Any tips will be more than welcome. Thanks everyone!

JS or custom codiing
I'd guess you would either need to use JS and some heavy theming to show different sections of the single form as tabs, ala:

(I assume you can do the same sort of thinkg with jQuery, especially if you're planning to more towards Drupal 5.x)
Otherwise, I'd think this would require some custom coding- maybe a module on top of webform that presents all the different forms for a single applicant as tabs at a single URL.
The JS approach might actually be better since then you wouldn't lose data if the person clicks between tabs.
