for iOS devices: possible to use tabs?

(I'm using css3/html5)

I used tabs to create 3 columns with vertical rule in middle and right columns. The vertical rule is the same height in both columns (that's the way Iwant it).

1. Is it possible to use tabs when I create a css style sheet for iOS devices (smartphones & tablets)? If so, I have no idea how.

2. Or do I need to use floats?
I didn't use floats because the vertical rule's height is dependent on the height of the text w/i each float. And therefore is uneven because there's more text in middle column than the right column.

Unless there's something I don't know about (most likely).
I'd appreciate help! I'm stuck.

below is coding for the 3 columns:

td.left { /*left column with photo*/
	width:34%;
	margin:0;
 	padding:0;
	border:none;
	vertical-align:top;
}
td { /*middle and right columns*/
	font-size:12px;
	width:33%;
	padding:0 10px 0 20px;
	border-left:1px solid #c93;
	vertical-align:top;
}
