Web parameter such as "tab=6". The tab represents a particular view of information. It would be better IMO to give the view names, such as "view=detail", "view=summary", etc. The name should not be tied to tab positition, and perhaps not the tab name either if the name does not represent the kind of view in any meaningful way.
