 ### UTR-11: Required Reading for Control Render Tests
 
-**Before writing ANY render tests for Controls, you MUST:**
+---
 
-1. **Read the matcher documentation**: `docs/testing_rendered_components.md`
+#### **UTR-11.0: Read the matcher documentation (MANDATORY PREREQUISITE)**
-2. **Understand the key concepts**:
+
-   - How `matches()` and `find()` work
+**Principle:** Before writing any render tests, you MUST read and understand the complete matcher documentation.
-   - When to use predicates (Contains, StartsWith, AnyValue, etc.)
+
-   - How to test only what matters (not every detail)
+**Mandatory reading:** `docs/testing_rendered_components.md`
-   - How to read error messages with `^^^` markers
+
-3. **Apply the best practices** detailed below
+**What you must master:**
+- **`matches(actual, expected)`** - How to validate that an element matches your expectations
+- **`find(ft, expected)`** - How to search for elements within an HTML tree
+- **Predicates** - How to test patterns instead of exact values:
+  - `Contains()`, `StartsWith()`, `DoesNotContain()`, `AnyValue()` for attributes
+  - `Empty()`, `NoChildren()`, `AttributeForbidden()` for children
+- **Error messages** - How to read `^^^` markers to understand differences
+- **Key principle** - Test only what matters, ignore the rest
+
+**Without this reading, you cannot write correct render tests.**

-#### **UTR-11.1 : Pattern de test en trois étapes (RÈGLE FONDAMENTALE)**
+### **TEST FILE STRUCTURE**
 
-**Principe :** C'est le pattern par défaut à appliquer pour tous les tests de rendu. Les autres règles sont des compléments à ce pattern.
+---
 
-**Les trois étapes :**
+#### **UTR-11.1: Always start with a global structure test (FUNDAMENTAL RULE)**
-1. **Extraire l'élément à tester** avec `find_one()` ou `find()` à partir du rendu global
-2. **Définir la structure attendue** avec `expected = ...`
-3. **Comparer** avec `assert matches(element, expected)`
 
-**Pourquoi :** Ce pattern permet des messages d'erreur clairs et sépare la recherche de l'élément de la validation de sa structure.
+**Principle:** The **first render test** must ALWAYS verify the global HTML structure of the component. This is the test that helps readers understand the general architecture.
 
-**Exemple :**
+**Why:**
+- Gives immediate overview of the structure
+- Facilitates understanding for new contributors
+- Quickly detects major structural changes
+- Serves as living documentation of HTML architecture
+
+**Test format:**
+```python
+def test_i_can_render_component_with_no_data(self, component):
+    """Test that Component renders with correct global structure."""
+    html = component.render()
+    expected = Div(
+        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-controller"),   # controller
+        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-header"),        # header
+        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-content"),       # content
+        id=component.get_id(),
+    )
+    assert matches(html, expected)
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Simple test with only IDs of main sections
+- Inline comments to identify each section
+- No detailed verification of attributes (classes, content, etc.)
+- This test must be the first in the `TestComponentRender` class
+
+**Test order:**
+1. **First test:** Global structure (UTR-11.1)
+2. **Following tests:** Details of each section (UTR-11.2 to UTR-11.10)
+
+---
+
+#### **UTR-11.2: Break down complex tests into explicit steps**
+
+**Principle:** When a test verifies multiple levels of HTML nesting, break it down into numbered steps with explicit comments.
+
+**Why:**
+- Facilitates debugging (you know exactly which step fails)
+- Improves test readability
+- Allows validating structure level by level
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+def test_content_wrapper_when_tab_active(self, tabs_manager):
+    """Test that content wrapper shows active tab content."""
+    tab_id = tabs_manager.create_tab("Tab1", Div("My Content"))
+    wrapper = tabs_manager._mk_tab_content_wrapper()
+
+    # Step 1: Validate wrapper global structure
+    expected = Div(
+        Div(),  # tab content, tested in step 2
+        id=f"{tabs_manager.get_id()}-content-wrapper",
+        cls=Contains("mf-tab-content-wrapper"),
+    )
+    assert matches(wrapper, expected)
+
+    # Step 2: Extract and validate specific content
+    tab_content = find_one(wrapper, Div(id=f"{tabs_manager.get_id()}-{tab_id}-content"))
+    expected = Div(
+        Div("My Content"),  # <= actual content
+        cls=Contains("mf-tab-content"),
+    )
+    assert matches(tab_content, expected)
+```
+
+**Pattern:**
+- Step 1: Global structure with empty `Div()` + comment for children tested after
+- Step 2+: Extraction with `find_one()` + detailed validation
+
+---
+
+#### **UTR-11.3: Three-step pattern for simple tests**
+
+**Principle:** For tests not requiring multi-level decomposition, use the standard three-step pattern.
+
+**The three steps:**
+1. **Extract the element to test** with `find_one()` or `find()` from the global render
+2. **Define the expected structure** with `expected = ...`
+3. **Compare** with `assert matches(element, expected)`
+
+**Example:**
 ```python
-# ✅ BON - Pattern en trois étapes
 def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
     """Test that there is a left and right header section."""
-    # Étape 1 : Extraire l'élément à tester
+    # Step 1: Extract the element to test
     header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))
 
-    # Étape 2 : Définir la structure attendue
+    # Step 2: Define the expected structure
     expected = Header(
         Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"),
         Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"),
     )
 
-    # Étape 3 : Comparer
+    # Step 3: Compare
     assert matches(header, expected)
-
-# ❌ À ÉVITER - Tout imbriqué en une ligne
-def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
-    assert matches(
-        find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header"))),
-        Header(Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"))
-    )
 ```
 
-**Note :** Cette règle s'applique à presque tous les tests. Les autres règles ci-dessous complètent ce pattern fondamental.
+---
+
+### **HOW TO SEARCH FOR ELEMENTS**
 
 ---
 
-#### **COMMENT CHERCHER LES ÉLÉMENTS**
+#### **UTR-11.4: Prefer searching by ID**
 
----
+**Principle:** Always search for an element by its `id` when it has one, rather than by class or other attribute.
 
-#### **UTR-11.2 : Privilégier la recherche par ID**
+**Why:** More robust, faster, and targeted (an ID is unique).
 
-**Principe :** Toujours chercher un élément par son `id` quand il en a un, plutôt que par classe ou autre attribut.
+**Example:**
-
-**Pourquoi :** Plus robuste, plus rapide, et ciblé (un ID est unique).
-
-**Exemple :**
 ```python
-# ✅ BON - recherche par ID
+# ✅ GOOD - search by ID
 drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_ld"))
 
-# ❌ À ÉVITER - recherche par classe quand un ID existe
+# ❌ AVOID - search by class when an ID exists
 drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-left-drawer")))
 ```
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.3 : Utiliser `find_one()` vs `find()` selon le contexte**
+#### **UTR-11.5: Use `find_one()` vs `find()` based on context**
 
-**Principe :**
+**Principle:**
-- `find_one()` : Quand vous cherchez un élément unique et voulez tester sa structure complète
+- `find_one()`: When you search for a unique element and want to test its complete structure
-- `find()` : Quand vous cherchez plusieurs éléments ou voulez compter/vérifier leur présence
+- `find()`: When you search for multiple elements or want to count/verify their presence
 
-**Exemples :**
+**Examples:**
 ```python
-# ✅ BON - find_one pour structure unique
+# ✅ GOOD - find_one for unique structure
 header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))
 expected = Header(...)
 assert matches(header, expected)
 
-# ✅ BON - find pour compter
+# ✅ GOOD - find for counting
 resizers = find(drawer, Div(cls=Contains("mf-resizer-left")))
 assert len(resizers) == 1, "Left drawer should contain exactly one resizer element"
 ```
 
 ---
 
-#### **COMMENT SPÉCIFIER LA STRUCTURE ATTENDUE**
+### **HOW TO SPECIFY EXPECTED STRUCTURE**
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.4 : Toujours utiliser `Contains()` pour les attributs `cls` et `style`**
+#### **UTR-11.6: Always use `Contains()` for `cls` and `style` attributes**
 
-**Principe :**
+**Principle:**
-- Pour `cls` : Les classes CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les classes importantes avec `Contains()`.
+- For `cls`: CSS classes can be in any order. Test only important classes with `Contains()`.
-- Pour `style` : Les propriétés CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les propriétés importantes avec `Contains()`.
+- For `style`: CSS properties can be in any order. Test only important properties with `Contains()`.
 
-**Pourquoi :** Évite les faux négatifs dus à l'ordre des classes/propriétés ou aux espaces.
+**Why:** Avoids false negatives due to class/property order or spacing.
 
-**Exemples :**
+**Examples:**
 ```python
-# ✅ BON - Contains pour cls (une ou plusieurs classes)
+# ✅ GOOD - Contains for cls (one or more classes)
 expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer"))
 expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer", "mf-layout-left-drawer"))
 
-# ✅ BON - Contains pour style
+# ✅ GOOD - Contains for style
 expected = Div(style=Contains("width: 250px"))
 
-# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact des classes
+# ❌ AVOID - exact class test
 expected = Div(cls="mf-layout-drawer mf-layout-left-drawer")
 
-# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact du style complet
+# ❌ AVOID - exact complete style test
 expected = Div(style="width: 250px; overflow: hidden; display: flex;")
 ```
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.5 : Utiliser `TestIcon()` pour tester la présence d'une icône**
+#### **UTR-11.7: Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` to test icon presence**
 
-**Principe :** Utilisez `TestIcon("icon_name")` pour tester la présence d'une icône SVG dans le rendu.
+**Principle:** Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` depending on how the icon is integrated in the code.
 
-**Le paramètre `name` :**
+**Difference between the two:**
-- **Nom exact** : Utilisez le nom exact de l'import (ex: `TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")`) pour valider une icône spécifique
+- **`TestIcon("icon_name")`**: Searches for the pattern `<div><NotStr .../></div>` (icon wrapped in a Div)
-- **`name=""`** (chaîne vide) : Valide **n'importe quelle icône**. Le test sera passant dès que la structure affichant une icône sera trouvée, peu importe laquelle.
+- **`TestIconNotStr("icon_name")`**: Searches only for `<NotStr .../>` (icon alone, without wrapper)
-- **JAMAIS `name="svg"`** : Cela causera des échecs de test
+
+**How to choose:**
+1. **Read the source code** to see how the icon is rendered
+2. If `mk.icon()` or equivalent wraps the icon in a Div → use `TestIcon()`
+3. If the icon is directly included without wrapper → use `TestIconNotStr()`
+
+**The `name` parameter:**
+- **Exact name**: Use the exact import name (e.g., `TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")`) to validate a specific icon
+- **`name=""`** (empty string): Validates **any icon**
+
+**Examples:**
 
-**Exemples :**
 ```python
-from myfasthtml.icons.fluent import panel_right_expand20_regular
+# Example 1: Wrapped icon (typically with mk.icon())
-
+# Source code: mk.icon(panel_right_expand20_regular, size=20)
-# ✅ BON - Tester une icône spécifique
+# Rendered: <div><NotStr .../></div>
 expected = Header(
     Div(
-        TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"),
+        TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"),  # ✅ With wrapper
         cls=Contains("flex", "gap-1")
     )
 )
 
-# ✅ BON - Tester la présence de n'importe quelle icône
+# Example 2: Direct icon (used without helper)
-expected = Div(
+# Source code: Span(dismiss_circle16_regular, cls="icon")
-    TestIcon(""),  # Accepte n'importe quelle icône
+# Rendered: <span><NotStr .../></span>
-    cls=Contains("icon-wrapper")
+expected = Span(
+    TestIconNotStr("dismiss_circle16_regular"),  # ✅ Without wrapper
+    cls=Contains("icon")
 )
 
-# ❌ À ÉVITER - name="svg"
+# Example 3: Verify any wrapped icon
-expected = Div(TestIcon("svg"))  # ERREUR : causera un échec
+expected = Div(
+    TestIcon(""),  # Accepts any wrapped icon
+    cls=Contains("icon-wrapper")
+)
 ```
 
+**Debugging tip:**
+If your test fails with `TestIcon()`, try `TestIconNotStr()` and vice-versa. The error message will show you the actual structure.

-#### **UTR-11.6 : Utiliser `TestScript()` pour tester les scripts JavaScript**
+#### **UTR-11.8: Use `TestScript()` to test JavaScript scripts**
 
-**Principe :** Utilisez `TestScript(code_fragment)` pour vérifier la présence de code JavaScript. Testez uniquement le fragment important, pas le script complet.
+**Principle:** Use `TestScript(code_fragment)` to verify JavaScript code presence. Test only the important fragment, not the complete script.
 
-**Exemple :**
+**Example:**
 ```python
-# ✅ BON - TestScript avec fragment important
+# ✅ GOOD - TestScript with important fragment
 script = find_one(layout.render(), Script())
 expected = TestScript(f"initResizer('{layout._id}');")
 assert matches(script, expected)

-### UTR-12: Test Workflow
+---
+
+### UTR-12: Analyze Execution Flow Before Writing Tests
+
+**Rule:** Before writing a test, trace the complete execution flow to understand side effects.
+
+**Why:** Prevents writing tests based on incorrect assumptions about behavior.
+
+**Example:**
+```
+Test: "content_is_cached_after_first_retrieval"
+Flow: create_tab() → _add_or_update_tab() → state.ns_tabs_content[tab_id] = component
+Conclusion: Cache is already filled after create_tab, test would be redundant
+```
+
+**Process:**
+1. Identify the method being tested
+2. Trace all method calls it makes
+3. Identify state changes at each step
+4. Verify your assumptions about what the test should validate
+5. Only then write the test
+
+---
+
+### UTR-13: Prefer matches() for Content Verification
+
+**Rule:** Even in behavior tests, use `matches()` to verify HTML content rather than `assert "text" in str(element)`.
+
+**Why:** More robust, clearer error messages, consistent with render test patterns.
+
+**Examples:**
+```python
+# ❌ FRAGILE - string matching
+result = component._dynamic_get_content("nonexistent_id")
+assert "Tab not found" in str(result)
+
+# ✅ ROBUST - structural matching
+result = component._dynamic_get_content("nonexistent_id")
+assert matches(result, Div('Tab not found.'))
+```
+
+---
+
+### UTR-14: Know FastHTML Attribute Names
+
+**Rule:** FastHTML elements use HTML attribute names, not Python parameter names.
+
+**Key differences:**
+- Use `attrs.get('class')` not `attrs.get('cls')`
+- Use `attrs.get('id')` for the ID
+- Prefer `matches()` with predicates to avoid direct attribute access
+
+**Examples:**
+```python
+# ❌ WRONG - Python parameter name
+classes = element.attrs.get('cls', '')  # Returns None or ''
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - HTML attribute name
+classes = element.attrs.get('class', '')  # Returns actual classes
+
+# ✅ BETTER - Use predicates with matches()
+expected = Div(cls=Contains("active"))
+assert matches(element, expected)
+```
+
+---
+
+### UTR-15: Test Workflow
 
 1. **Receive code to test** - User provides file path or code section
 2. **Check existing tests** - Look for corresponding test file and read it if it exists
 3. **Analyze code** - Read and understand implementation
-4. **Gap analysis** - If tests exist, identify what's missing; otherwise identify all scenarios

+# Panel Component
+
+## Introduction
+
+The Panel component provides a flexible three-zone layout with optional collapsible side panels. It's designed to
+organize content into left panel, main area, and right panel sections, with smooth toggle animations and resizable
+panels.
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- Three customizable zones (left panel, main content, right panel)
+- Toggle visibility with hide/show icons
+- Resizable panels with drag handles
+- Smooth CSS animations for show/hide transitions
+- Automatic state persistence per session
+- Configurable panel presence (enable/disable left or right)
+- Session-based width and visibility state
+
+**Common use cases:**
+
+- Code editor with file explorer and properties panel
+- Data visualization with filters sidebar and details panel
+- Admin interface with navigation menu and tools panel
+- Documentation viewer with table of contents and metadata
+- Dashboard with configuration panel and information sidebar
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Here's a minimal example showing a three-panel layout for a code editor:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.Panel import Panel
+
+# Create the panel instance
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance)
+
+# Set content for each zone
+panel.set_left(
+  Div(
+    H3("Files"),
+    Ul(
+      Li("app.py"),
+      Li("config.py"),
+      Li("utils.py")
+    )
+  )
+)
+
+panel.set_main(
+  Div(
+    H2("Editor"),
+    Textarea("# Write your code here", rows=20, cls="w-full font-mono")
+  )
+)
+
+panel.set_right(
+  Div(
+    H3("Properties"),
+    Div("Language: Python"),
+    Div("Lines: 120"),
+    Div("Size: 3.2 KB")
+  )
+)
+
+# Render the panel
+return panel
+```
+
+This creates a complete panel layout with:
+
+- A left panel displaying a file list with a hide icon (−) at the top right
+- A main content area with a code editor
+- A right panel showing file properties with a hide icon (−) at the top right
+- Show icons (⋯) that appear in the main area when panels are hidden
+- Drag handles between panels for manual resizing
+- Automatic state persistence (visibility and width)
+
+**Note:** Users can hide panels by clicking the hide icon (−) inside each panel. When hidden, a show icon (⋯) appears in
+the main area (left side for left panel, right side for right panel). Panels can be resized by dragging the handles, and
+all state is automatically saved in the session.
+
+## Basic Usage

+**Component details:**
+
+| Element       | Description                                   |
+|---------------|-----------------------------------------------|
+| Left panel    | Optional collapsible panel (default: visible) |
+| Main content  | Always-visible central content area           |
+| Right panel   | Optional collapsible panel (default: visible) |
+| Hide icon (−) | Inside each panel, top right corner           |
+| Show icon (⋯) | In main area when panel is hidden             |
+| Resizer (║)   | Drag handle to resize panels manually         |
+
+### Creating a Panel
+
+The Panel is a `MultipleInstance`, meaning you can create multiple independent panels in your application. Create it by
+providing a parent instance:
+
+```python
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance)
+
+# Or with a custom ID
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, _id="my-panel")
+
+# Or with custom configuration
+from myfasthtml.controls.Panel import PanelConf
+
+conf = PanelConf(left=True, right=False)  # Only left panel enabled
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, conf=conf)
+```
+
+### Content Zones
+
+The Panel provides three content zones:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Left Panel  │  Main Content  │  Right Panel        │
+│  (optional)  │   (required)   │  (optional)         │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Zone details:**
+
+| Zone    | Typical Use                                           | Required |
+|---------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------|
+| `left`  | Navigation, file explorer, filters, table of contents | No       |
+| `main`  | Primary content, editor, visualization, results       | Yes      |
+| `right` | Properties, tools, metadata, debug info, settings     | No       |
+
+### Setting Content
+
+Use the `set_*()` methods to add content to each zone:
+
+```python
+# Main content (always visible)
+panel.set_main(
+  Div(
+    H1("Dashboard"),
+    P("This is the main content area")
+  )
+)
+
+# Left panel (optional)
+panel.set_left(
+  Div(
+    H3("Navigation"),
+    Ul(
+      Li("Home"),
+      Li("Settings"),
+      Li("About")
+    )
+  )
+)
+
+# Right panel (optional)
+panel.set_right(
+  Div(
+    H3("Tools"),
+    Button("Export"),
+    Button("Refresh")
+  )
+)
+```
+
+**Method chaining:**
+
+The `set_main()` method returns `self`, enabling method chaining:
+
+```python
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance)
+  .set_main(Div("Main content"))
+  .set_left(Div("Left content"))
+```
+
+### Panel Configuration
+
+By default, both left and right panels are enabled. You can customize this with `PanelConf`:
+
+```python
+from myfasthtml.controls.Panel import PanelConf
+
+# Only left panel enabled
+conf = PanelConf(left=True, right=False)
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, conf=conf)
+
+# Only right panel enabled
+conf = PanelConf(left=False, right=True)
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, conf=conf)
+
+# Both panels enabled (default)
+conf = PanelConf(left=True, right=True)
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, conf=conf)
+
+# No side panels (main content only)
+conf = PanelConf(left=False, right=False)
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance, conf=conf)
+```
+
+**Note:** When a panel is disabled in configuration, it won't render at all. When a panel is hidden (via toggle), it
+renders but with zero width and overflow hidden.
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Toggling Panel Visibility
+
+Each visible panel includes a hide icon (−) in its top-right corner. When hidden, a show icon (⋯) appears in the main
+area:
+
+**User interaction:**
+
+- **Hide panel**: Click the − icon inside the panel
+- **Show panel**: Click the ⋯ icon in the main area
+
+**Icon positions:**
+
+- Hide icons (−): Always at top-right of each panel
+- Show icon for left panel (⋯): Top-left of main area
+- Show icon for right panel (⋯): Top-right of main area
+
+**Visual states:**
+
+```
+Panel Visible:
+┌──────────┐
+│ Content  │
+│     [−]  │  ← Hide icon visible
+└──────────┘
+
+Panel Hidden:
+┌──────────────────┐
+│ [⋯]       Main   │  ← Show icon visible in main
+└──────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Animation:**
+
+When toggling visibility:
+
+- **Hiding**: Panel width animates to 0px over 0.3s
+- **Showing**: Panel width animates to its saved width over 0.3s
+- Content remains in DOM (state preserved)
+- Smooth CSS transition with ease timing
+
+**Note:** The animation only works when showing (panel appearing). When hiding, the transition currently doesn't apply
+due to HTMX swap timing. This is a known limitation.
+
+### Resizable Panels
+
+Both left and right panels can be resized by users via drag handles:
+
+- **Drag handle location**:
+    - Left panel: Right edge (vertical bar)
+    - Right panel: Left edge (vertical bar)
+- **Width constraints**: 150px (minimum) to 500px (maximum)
+- **Persistence**: Resized width is automatically saved in session state
+- **No transition during resize**: CSS transitions are disabled during manual dragging for smooth performance
+
+**How to resize:**
+
+1. Hover over the panel edge (cursor changes to resize cursor)
+2. Click and drag left/right
+3. Release to set the new width
+4. Width is saved automatically and persists in the session
+
+**Initial widths:**
+
+- Left panel: 250px
+- Right panel: 250px
+
+These defaults can be customized via state after creation if needed.
+
+### State Persistence
+
+The Panel automatically persists its state within the user's session:
+
+| State Property  | Description                    | Default |
+|-----------------|--------------------------------|---------|
+| `left_visible`  | Whether left panel is visible  | `True`  |
+| `right_visible` | Whether right panel is visible | `True`  |
+| `left_width`    | Left panel width in pixels     | `250`   |
+| `right_width`   | Right panel width in pixels    | `250`   |
+
+State changes (toggle visibility, resize width) are automatically saved and restored within the session.
+
+**Accessing state:**
+
+```python
+# Check current state
+is_left_visible = panel._state.left_visible
+left_panel_width = panel._state.left_width
+
+# Programmatically update state (not recommended - use commands instead)
+panel._state.left_visible = False  # Better to use toggle_side command
+```
+
+### Programmatic Control
+
+You can control panels programmatically using commands:
+
+```python
+# Toggle panel visibility
+toggle_left = panel.commands.toggle_side("left", visible=False)  # Hide left
+toggle_right = panel.commands.toggle_side("right", visible=True)  # Show right
+
+# Update panel width
+update_left_width = panel.commands.update_side_width("left")
+update_right_width = panel.commands.update_side_width("right")
+```
+
+These commands are typically used with buttons or other interactive elements:
+
+```python
+from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
+
+# Add buttons to toggle panels
+hide_left_btn = mk.button("Hide Left", command=panel.commands.toggle_side("left", False))
+show_left_btn = mk.button("Show Left", command=panel.commands.toggle_side("left", True))
+
+# Add to your layout
+panel.set_main(
+  Div(
+    hide_left_btn,
+    show_left_btn,
+    H1("Main Content")
+  )
+)
+```
+
+**Command details:**
+
+- `toggle_side(side, visible)`: Sets panel visibility explicitly
+    - `side`: `"left"` or `"right"`
+    - `visible`: `True` (show) or `False` (hide)
+    - Returns: tuple of (panel_element, show_icon_element) for HTMX swap
+
+- `update_side_width(side)`: Updates panel width from HTMX request
+    - `side`: `"left"` or `"right"`
+    - Width value comes from JavaScript resize handler
+    - Returns: updated panel element for HTMX swap
+
+### CSS Customization
+
+The Panel uses CSS classes that you can customize:
+
+| Class                      | Element                                  |
+|----------------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `mf-panel`                 | Root panel container                     |
+| `mf-panel-left`            | Left panel container                     |
+| `mf-panel-right`           | Right panel container                    |
+| `mf-panel-main`            | Main content area                        |
+| `mf-panel-hide-icon`       | Hide icon (−) inside panels              |
+| `mf-panel-show-icon`       | Show icon (⋯) in main area               |
+| `mf-panel-show-icon-left`  | Show icon for left panel                 |
+| `mf-panel-show-icon-right` | Show icon for right panel                |
+| `mf-resizer`               | Resize handle base class                 |
+| `mf-resizer-left`          | Left panel resize handle                 |
+| `mf-resizer-right`         | Right panel resize handle                |
+| `mf-hidden`                | Applied to hidden panels                 |
+| `no-transition`            | Disables transition during manual resize |
+
+**Example customization:**
+
+```css
+/* Change panel background color */
+.mf-panel-left,
+.mf-panel-right {
+    background-color: #f9fafb;
+}
+
+/* Customize hide icon appearance */
+.mf-panel-hide-icon:hover {
+    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
+    color: #ef4444;
+}
+
+/* Change transition timing */
+.mf-panel-left,
+.mf-panel-right {
+    transition: width 0.5s ease-in-out; /* Slower animation */
+}
+
+/* Style resizer handles */
+.mf-resizer {
+    background-color: #e5e7eb;
+}
+
+.mf-resizer:hover {
+    background-color: #3b82f6;
+}
+```

+## Developer Reference
+
+This section contains technical details for developers working on the Panel component itself.
+
+### Configuration
+
+The Panel component uses `PanelConf` dataclass for configuration:
+
+| Property | Type    | Description                | Default |
+|----------|---------|----------------------------|---------|
+| `left`   | boolean | Enable/disable left panel  | `True`  |
+| `right`  | boolean | Enable/disable right panel | `True`  |
+
+### State
+
+The Panel component maintains the following state properties via `PanelState`:
+
+| Name            | Type    | Description                        | Default |
+|-----------------|---------|------------------------------------|---------|
+| `left_visible`  | boolean | True if the left panel is visible  | `True`  |
+| `right_visible` | boolean | True if the right panel is visible | `True`  |
+| `left_width`    | integer | Width of the left panel in pixels  | `250`   |
+| `right_width`   | integer | Width of the right panel in pixels | `250`   |
+
+### Commands
+
+Available commands for programmatic control:
+
+| Name                         | Description                                                       |
+|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `toggle_side(side, visible)` | Sets panel visibility (side: "left"/"right", visible: True/False) |
+| `update_side_width(side)`    | Updates panel width from HTMX request (side: "left"/"right")      |
+
+**Note:** The old `toggle_side(side)` command without the `visible` parameter is deprecated but still available in the
+codebase.
+
+### Public Methods
+
+| Method               | Description                  | Returns |
+|----------------------|------------------------------|---------|
+| `set_main(content)`  | Sets the main content area   | `self`  |
+| `set_left(content)`  | Sets the left panel content  | `Div`   |
+| `set_right(content)` | Sets the right panel content | `Div`   |
+| `render()`           | Renders the complete panel   | `Div`   |

+
+**Note:**
+
+- Left panel: hide icon, then content, then resizer (resizer on right edge)
+- Right panel: resizer, then hide icon, then content (resizer on left edge)
+- Hide icons are positioned at panel root level (not inside content div)
+- Main content has an outer wrapper and inner content div with ID
+- `[mf-hidden]` class is conditionally applied when panel is hidden
+
+### Element IDs
+
+| Name             | Description                         |
+|------------------|-------------------------------------|
+| `{id}`           | Root panel container                |
+| `{id}_pl`        | Left panel container                |
+| `{id}_pr`        | Right panel container               |
+| `{id}_cl`        | Left panel content wrapper          |
+| `{id}_cr`        | Right panel content wrapper         |
+| `{id}_m`         | Main content wrapper                |
+| `{id}_show_left` | Show icon for left panel (in main)  |
+| `{id}_show_right`| Show icon for right panel (in main) |
+
+**Note:** `{id}` is the Panel instance ID (auto-generated UUID or custom `_id`).
+
+**ID Management:**
+
+The Panel component uses the `PanelIds` helper class to manage element IDs consistently. Access IDs programmatically:
+
+```python
+panel = Panel(parent=root_instance)
+
+# Access IDs via get_ids()
+panel.get_ids().panel("left")   # Returns "{id}_pl"
+panel.get_ids().panel("right")  # Returns "{id}_pr"
+panel.get_ids().left            # Returns "{id}_cl"
+panel.get_ids().right           # Returns "{id}_cr"
+panel.get_ids().main            # Returns "{id}_m"
+panel.get_ids().content("left") # Returns "{id}_cl"
+```
+
+### Internal Methods
+
+These methods are used internally for rendering:
+
+| Method                | Description                                       |
+|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
+| `_mk_panel(side)`     | Renders a panel (left or right) with all elements |
+| `_mk_show_icon(side)` | Renders the show icon for a panel                 |
+
+**Method details:**
+
+- `_mk_panel(side)`:
+    - Checks if panel is enabled in config
+    - Creates resizer with command and data attributes
+    - Creates hide icon with toggle command
+    - Applies `mf-hidden` class if panel is not visible
+    - Returns None if panel is disabled
+
+- `_mk_show_icon(side)`:
+    - Checks if panel is enabled in config
+    - Returns None if panel is disabled or visible
+    - Applies `hidden` (Tailwind) class if panel is visible
+    - Applies positioning class based on side
+
+### JavaScript Integration
+
+The Panel component uses JavaScript for manual resizing:
+
+**initResizer(panelId):**
+
+- Initializes drag-and-drop resize functionality
+- Adds/removes `no-transition` class during drag
+- Sends width updates to server via HTMX
+- Constrains width between 150px and 500px

+# TabsManager Component
+
+## Introduction
+
+The TabsManager component provides a dynamic tabbed interface for organizing multiple views within your FastHTML
+application. It handles tab creation, activation, closing, and content management with automatic state persistence and
+HTMX-powered interactions.
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- Dynamic tab creation and removal at runtime
+- Automatic content caching for performance
+- Session-based state persistence (tabs, order, active tab)
+- Duplicate tab detection based on component identity
+- Built-in search menu for quick tab navigation
+- Auto-increment labels for programmatic tab creation
+- HTMX-powered updates without page reload
+
+**Common use cases:**
+
+- Multi-document editor (code editor, text editor)
+- Dashboard with multiple data views
+- Settings interface with different configuration panels
+- Developer tools with console, inspector, network tabs
+- Application with dynamic content sections
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Here's a minimal example showing a tabbed interface with three views:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
+from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
+
+# Create root instance and tabs manager
+root = RootInstance(session)
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root)
+
+# Create three tabs with different content
+tabs.create_tab("Dashboard", Div(H1("Dashboard"), P("Overview of your data")))
+tabs.create_tab("Settings", Div(H1("Settings"), P("Configure your preferences")))
+tabs.create_tab("Profile", Div(H1("Profile"), P("Manage your profile")))
+
+# Render the tabs manager
+return tabs
+```
+
+This creates a complete tabbed interface with:
+
+- A header bar displaying three clickable tab buttons ("Dashboard", "Settings", "Profile")
+- Close buttons (×) on each tab for dynamic removal
+- A main content area showing the active tab's content
+- A search menu (⊞ icon) for quick tab navigation when many tabs are open
+- Automatic HTMX updates when switching or closing tabs
+
+**Note:** Tabs are interactive by default. Users can click tab labels to switch views, click close buttons to remove
+tabs, or use the search menu to find tabs quickly. All interactions update the UI without page reload thanks to HTMX
+integration.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Visual Structure
+
+The TabsManager component consists of a header with tab buttons and a content area:
+
+```
+┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Tab Header                                                │
+│  ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐          ┌────┐    │
+│  │ Tab 1  × │ │ Tab 2  × │ │ Tab 3  × │          │ ⊞  │    │
+│  └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘          └────┘    │
+├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│                                                            │
+│                                                            │
+│                    Active Tab Content                      │
+│                                                            │
+│                                                            │
+└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Component details:**
+
+| Element          | Description                             |
+|------------------|-----------------------------------------|
+| Tab buttons      | Clickable labels to switch between tabs |
+| Close button (×) | Removes the tab and its content         |
+| Search menu (⊞)  | Dropdown menu to search and filter tabs |
+| Content area     | Displays the active tab's content       |
+
+### Creating a TabsManager
+
+The TabsManager is a `MultipleInstance`, meaning you can create multiple independent tab managers in your application.
+Create it by providing a parent instance:
+
+```python
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root_instance)
+
+# Or with a custom ID
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root_instance, _id="my-tabs")
+```
+
+### Creating Tabs
+
+Use the `create_tab()` method to add a new tab:
+
+```python
+# Create a tab with custom content
+tab_id = tabs.create_tab(
+  label="My Tab",
+  component=Div(H1("Content"), P("Tab content here"))
+)
+
+# Create with a MyFastHtml control
+from myfasthtml.controls.VisNetwork import VisNetwork
+
+network = VisNetwork(parent=tabs, nodes=nodes_data, edges=edges_data)
+tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Network View", network)
+
+# Create without activating immediately
+tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Background Tab", content, activate=False)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `label` (str): Display text shown in the tab button
+- `component` (Any): Content to display in the tab (FastHTML elements or MyFastHtml controls)
+- `activate` (bool): Whether to make this tab active immediately (default: True)
+
+**Returns:** A unique `tab_id` (UUID string) that identifies the tab
+
+### Showing Tabs
+
+Use the `show_tab()` method to activate and display a tab:
+
+```python
+# Show a tab (makes it active and sends content to client if needed)
+tabs.show_tab(tab_id)
+
+# Show without activating (just send content to client)
+tabs.show_tab(tab_id, activate=False)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `tab_id` (str): The UUID of the tab to show
+- `activate` (bool): Whether to make this tab active (default: True)
+
+**Note:** The first time a tab is shown, its content is sent to the client and cached. Subsequent activations just
+toggle visibility without re-sending content.
+
+### Closing Tabs
+
+Use the `close_tab()` method to remove a tab:
+
+```python
+# Close a specific tab
+tabs.close_tab(tab_id)
+```
+
+**What happens when closing:**
+
+1. Tab is removed from the tab list and order
+2. Content is removed from cache and client
+3. If the closed tab was active, the first remaining tab becomes active
+4. If no tabs remain, `active_tab` is set to `None`
+
+### Changing Tab Content
+
+Use the `change_tab_content()` method to update an existing tab's content and label:
+
+```python
+# Update tab content and label
+new_content = Div(H1("Updated"), P("New content"))
+tabs.change_tab_content(
+  tab_id=tab_id,
+  label="Updated Tab",
+  component=new_content,
+  activate=True
+)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `tab_id` (str): The UUID of the tab to update
+- `label` (str): New label for the tab
+- `component` (Any): New content to display
+- `activate` (bool): Whether to activate the tab after updating (default: True)
+
+**Note:** This method forces the new content to be sent to the client, even if the tab was already displayed.
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Auto-increment Labels
+
+When creating multiple tabs programmatically, you can use auto-increment to generate unique labels:
+
+```python
+# Using the on_new_tab method with auto_increment
+def create_multiple_tabs():
+  # Creates "Untitled_0", "Untitled_1", "Untitled_2"
+  tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
+  tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
+  tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- The TabsManager maintains an internal counter (`_tab_count`)
+- When `auto_increment=True`, the counter value is appended to the label
+- Counter increments with each auto-incremented tab creation
+- Useful for "New Tab 1", "New Tab 2" patterns in editors or tools
+
+### Duplicate Detection
+
+The TabsManager automatically detects and reuses tabs with identical content to prevent duplicates:
+
+```python
+# Create a control instance
+network = VisNetwork(parent=tabs, nodes=data, edges=edges)
+
+# First call creates a new tab
+tab_id_1 = tabs.create_tab("Network", network)
+
+# Second call with same label and component returns existing tab_id
+tab_id_2 = tabs.create_tab("Network", network)
+
+# tab_id_1 == tab_id_2  (True - same tab!)
+```
+
+**Detection criteria:**
+A tab is considered a duplicate if all three match:
+
+- Same `label`
+- Same `component_type` (component class prefix)
+- Same `component_id` (component instance ID)
+
+**Note:** This only works with `BaseInstance` components (MyFastHtml controls). Plain FastHTML elements don't have IDs
+and will always create new tabs.
+
+### Dynamic Content Updates
+
+You can update tabs dynamically during the session:
+
+```python
+# Initial tab creation
+tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Data View", Div("Loading..."))
+
+
+# Later, update with actual data
+def load_data():
+  data_content = Div(H2("Data"), P("Loaded content"))
+  tabs.change_tab_content(tab_id, "Data View", data_content)
+  # Returns HTMX response to update the UI
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+
+- Loading data asynchronously
+- Refreshing tab content based on user actions
+- Updating visualizations with new data
+- Switching between different views in the same tab
+
+### Tab Search Menu
+
+The built-in search menu helps users navigate when many tabs are open:
+
+```python
+# The search menu is automatically created and includes:
+# - A Search control for filtering tabs by label
+# - Live filtering as you type
+# - Click to activate a tab from search results
+```
+
+**How to access:**
+
+- Click the ⊞ icon in the tab header
+- Start typing to filter tabs by label
+- Click a result to activate that tab
+
+The search menu updates automatically when tabs are added or removed.
+
+### HTMX Out-of-Band Swaps
+
+For advanced HTMX control, you can customize swap behavior:
+
+```python
+# Standard behavior (out-of-band swap enabled)
+tabs.show_tab(tab_id, oob=True)  # Default
+
+# Custom target behavior (disable out-of-band)
+tabs.show_tab(tab_id, oob=False)  # Swap into HTMX target only
+```
+
+**When to use `oob=False`:**
+
+- When you want to control the exact HTMX target
+- When combining with other HTMX responses
+- When the tab activation is triggered by a command with a specific target
+
+**When to use `oob=True` (default):**
+
+- Most common use case
+- Allows other controls to trigger tab changes without caring about targets
+- Enables automatic UI updates across multiple elements
+
+### CSS Customization
+
+The TabsManager uses CSS classes that you can customize:
+
+| Class                    | Element                         |
+|--------------------------|---------------------------------|
+| `mf-tabs-manager`        | Root tabs manager container     |
+| `mf-tabs-header-wrapper` | Header wrapper (buttons + menu) |
+| `mf-tabs-header`         | Tab buttons container           |
+| `mf-tab-button`          | Individual tab button           |
+| `mf-tab-active`          | Active tab button (modifier)    |
+| `mf-tab-label`           | Tab label text                  |
+| `mf-tab-close-btn`       | Close button (×)                |
+| `mf-tab-content-wrapper` | Content area container          |
+| `mf-tab-content`         | Individual tab content          |
+| `mf-empty-content`       | Empty state when no tabs        |
+
+**Example customization:**
+
+```css
+/* Change active tab color */
+.mf-tab-active {
+    background-color: #3b82f6;
+    color: white;
+}
+
+/* Customize close button */
+.mf-tab-close-btn:hover {
+    color: red;
+}
+
+/* Style the content area */
+.mf-tab-content-wrapper {
+    padding: 2rem;
+    background-color: #f9fafb;
+}
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Multi-view Application
+
+A typical application with different views accessible through tabs:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
+from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
+
+# Create tabs manager
+root = RootInstance(session)
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root, _id="app-tabs")
+
+# Dashboard view
+dashboard = Div(
+  H1("Dashboard"),
+  Div(
+    Div("Total Users: 1,234", cls="stat"),
+    Div("Active Sessions: 56", cls="stat"),
+    Div("Revenue: $12,345", cls="stat"),
+    cls="stats-grid"
+  )
+)
+
+# Analytics view
+analytics = Div(
+  H1("Analytics"),
+  P("Detailed analytics and reports"),
+  Div("Chart placeholder", cls="chart-container")
+)
+
+# Settings view
+settings = Div(
+  H1("Settings"),
+  Form(
+    Label("Username:", Input(name="username", value="admin")),
+    Label("Email:", Input(name="email", value="admin@example.com")),
+    Button("Save", type="submit"),
+  )
+)
+
+# Create tabs
+tabs.create_tab("Dashboard", dashboard)
+tabs.create_tab("Analytics", analytics)
+tabs.create_tab("Settings", settings)
+
+# Render
+return tabs
+```
+
+### Example 2: Dynamic Tabs with VisNetwork
+
+Creating tabs dynamically with interactive network visualizations:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
+from myfasthtml.controls.VisNetwork import VisNetwork
+from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
+from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
+from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
+
+root = RootInstance(session)
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root, _id="network-tabs")
+
+# Create initial tab with welcome message
+tabs.create_tab("Welcome", Div(
+  H1("Network Visualizer"),
+  P("Click 'Add Network' to create a new network visualization")
+))
+
+
+# Function to create a new network tab
+def add_network_tab():
+  # Define network data
+  nodes = [
+      {"id": 1, "label": "Node 1"},
+      {"id": 2, "label": "Node 2"},
+      {"id": 3, "label": "Node 3"}
+  ]
+  edges = [
+      {"from": 1, "to": 2},
+      {"from": 2, "to": 3}
+  ]
+  
+  # Create network instance
+  network = VisNetwork(parent=tabs, nodes=nodes, edges=edges)
+  
+  # Use auto-increment to create unique labels
+  return tabs.on_new_tab("Network", network, auto_increment=True)
+
+
+# Create command for adding networks
+add_cmd = Command("add_network", "Add network tab", add_network_tab)
+
+# Add button to create new network tabs
+add_button = mk.button("Add Network", command=add_cmd, cls="btn btn-primary")
+
+# Return tabs and button
+return Div(add_button, tabs)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Tab Management with Content Updates
+
+An application that updates tab content based on user interaction:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
+from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
+from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
+from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
+
+root = RootInstance(session)
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root, _id="editor-tabs")
+
+# Create initial document tabs
+doc1_id = tabs.create_tab("Document 1", Textarea("Initial content 1", rows=10))
+doc2_id = tabs.create_tab("Document 2", Textarea("Initial content 2", rows=10))
+
+
+# Function to refresh a document's content
+def refresh_document(tab_id, doc_name):
+  # Simulate loading new content
+  new_content = Textarea(f"Refreshed content for {doc_name}\nTimestamp: {datetime.now()}", rows=10)
+  tabs.change_tab_content(tab_id, doc_name, new_content)
+  return tabs._mk_tabs_controller(oob=True), tabs._mk_tabs_header_wrapper(oob=True)
+
+
+# Create refresh commands
+refresh_doc1 = Command("refresh_1", "Refresh doc 1", refresh_document, doc1_id, "Document 1")
+refresh_doc2 = Command("refresh_2", "Refresh doc 2", refresh_document, doc2_id, "Document 2")
+
+# Add refresh buttons
+controls = Div(
+  mk.button("Refresh Document 1", command=refresh_doc1, cls="btn btn-sm"),
+  mk.button("Refresh Document 2", command=refresh_doc2, cls="btn btn-sm"),
+  cls="controls-bar"
+)
+
+return Div(controls, tabs)
+```
+
+### Example 4: Using Auto-increment for Dynamic Tabs
+
+Creating multiple tabs programmatically with auto-generated labels:
+
+```python
+from fasthtml.common import *
+from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
+from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
+from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
+from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
+
+root = RootInstance(session)
+tabs = TabsManager(parent=root, _id="dynamic-tabs")
+
+# Create initial placeholder tab
+tabs.create_tab("Start", Div(
+  H2("Welcome"),
+  P("Click 'New Tab' to create numbered tabs")
+))
+
+
+# Function to create a new numbered tab
+def create_numbered_tab():
+  content = Div(
+    H2("New Tab Content"),
+    P(f"This tab was created dynamically"),
+    Input(placeholder="Enter some text...", cls="input")
+  )
+  # Auto-increment creates "Tab_0", "Tab_1", "Tab_2", etc.
+  return tabs.on_new_tab("Tab", content, auto_increment=True)
+
+
+# Create command
+new_tab_cmd = Command("new_tab", "Create new tab", create_numbered_tab)
+
+# Add button
+new_tab_button = mk.button("New Tab", command=new_tab_cmd, cls="btn btn-primary")
+
+return Div(
+  Div(new_tab_button, cls="toolbar"),
+  tabs
+)
+```

+
+### Tab Metadata Structure
+
+Each tab in the `tabs` dictionary has the following structure:
+
+```python
+{
+    'id': 'uuid-string',  # Unique tab identifier
+    'label': 'Tab Label',  # Display label
+    'component_type': 'prefix',  # Component class prefix (or None)
+    'component_id': 'instance-id'  # Component instance ID (or None)
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** `component_type` and `component_id` are `None` for plain FastHTML elements that don't inherit from
+`BaseInstance`.
