Accessing Contact and associated Account address from a web tab

Create a simple Visualforce page that when given a contact ID will display that contact, the account that it is associated to, as well as the billing address of account and other address of contact . Want to make this  Visualforce page accessible via a Web Tab.

 

How can I do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated

On a "Web Tab" you don't have context of what Contact record you want to display this information for. This is a simple Visual force page wherein you can query the Contact and related account and account's attributes and display it. The SOQL in your controller would look like:

 

select Name,Account.MailingStreet,Account.MailingCity from Contact where Id=:idParam
 The visual force page would look like:
 
<apex:page standardController="Contact"><apex:outputText value="{!Contact.Name}"/><apex:outputText value="{!Contact.Account.MailingStreet}"/><apex:outputText value="{!Contact.Account.MailingCity}"/></apex:page>
 If that does'nt work, use a controller extension, fetch the data via the SOQL and display it in your page.
