Displaying select fields in tabpanel - using fieldsets?

Hello, I've just started looking into VF tab panels and wanted to find out if it's possible to show select fields within a tab? For example, I have an object with over 200 fields in it and I want to display 50 per tab. I was thinking of using something like fieldsets to group these fields together. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

Mike

That's absolutely possible. Tabs allow you to have content that is hidden unless you have chosen the specific tabs, while field sets allow you to dynamically output fields on a page without knowing about them until compile time.  There's an example in the VF developer's guide that shows how easy it is to iterate a fieldset:
