Run jQuery code in a non-selected jQuery-UI tab - 1.10 - jquery-ui

I am trying to run jQuery code on elements contained within a jQuery tab which is not selected. If i quickly click the tab before the Ajax loading has completed it works, but if i leave it running without being selected the code will not be executed.
As ou can see below, the tab i want to load data into were not defined from the beginning, it was created when the user clicked a button.
The functionality i want to achieve is tabs, where the user will search for X in the start tab, then the new tab is created, content is loaded in the background (needs jQuery code for grids and format). Then the user can click the tab and see the results.
jQuery 1.10
jQuery-UI 1.10
Example:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var myindex = 1;
$("#startsearch").click(function() {
search = escape(($("#search").val()));
searchdate = ($.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', new Date()));
var tabs = $( "#tabs" ).tabs();
var ul = tabs.find( "ul" );
// Add new tab
newhtml = "<li id='henrik_tab_" + myindex + "Selector'><a href='#henrik_tab_" + myindex + "'>Search: " + searchdate + "</a></li>";
newhtml2 = "<div id='henrik_tab_" + myindex + "'></div>";
ul.append(newhtml);
tabs.append(newhtml2);
tabs.tabs( "refresh" );
// Load data into tab
$( "#henrik_tab_" + myindex).load("dosearch.php?data=" + search, function(responseTxt,statusTxt,xhr) {
if(statusTxt=="success") {
!! DOING STUFF WITH ELEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE NEW TAB HERE !!
}
if(statusTxt=="error")
alert("Error: "+xhr.status+": "+xhr.statusText);
});
// increse the counter for next tab
myindex++;
});
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});
</script>
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try change code
tabs.append(newhtml2);
to
$( "#tabs" ).append(newhtml2);
If not fix, would like show the code should be executed but not.

Create new jquery ui tab panel with close button inside the panel?

I've got a function worked out that creates a new query ui tab panel when a user clicks a button. It also creates a new tab with a close button in it, like so:
$(function newTab() {
var $tabs = $('#nav-tabs').tabs();
$('.add-tab').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
var tabName = $(this).text(),
tabLink = $(this).attr('href'),
tabNumber = -1;
$tabs.find('.nav-tab-menu li a').each(function (i) {
if ($(this).text() == tabName) {
tabNumber = i;
}
});
if (tabNumber >= 0) {
$tabs.tabs('option', 'active', tabNumber)
} else {
$("<li><a href=" + tabLink + " class='ui-icon-tab-add'>" + tabName + "</a><span class='ui-icon-close' role='presentation'><span class='sr'>Remove Tab</span></span></li>")
.appendTo(".nav-tab-menu");
$("#nav-tabs").tabs("refresh");
$('#nav-tabs').tabs('option', 'active', -1);
}
return false
})
});
It works great, but this client is a total pain in the ass, and one close button isn't good enough for them - they also want one in the newly created panel as well. I've tried cloning the button and appending it to the panel, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? I should mention that the content of the current tab is replaced when the user clicks a link, so the button probably needs to be inserted before the active tab panel, rather than inside it so it doesn't get removed when the content is updated.

How to dynamically change data-theme in JQM for collapsible?

I need to do this action on button click, which is in the collapsible, so i do it like:
my_button.closest('div[data-theme="b"]').find('a.ui-btn-up-b').toggleClass('ui-btn-up-b ui-btn-up-d');
But unfortunately there still remains some styles which needs to be changed, but i don't know which...
Updated answer
Since the dynamic solution doesn't work for collapsible, here is a manual solution.
Working demo
Code
$('#button').on('click', function () {
var oldclass = 'ui-btn-up-b ui-body-b';
var newclass = 'ui-btn-up-d ui-body-d';
$('[data-role=collapsible]').find('a').removeClass(oldclass + ' ui-btn-hover-b').addClass(newclass + ' ui-btn-hover-d');
$('[data-role=collapsible]').find('.ui-collapsible-content').removeClass(oldclass).addClass(newclass);
});
Why collapsible data-theme cant be changed dynamically?
Old answer
Unfortunately, the below dynamic solution surprisingly doesn't work.
Where .selector is the ID of the Collapsible.
$('button').on('click', function () {
// change the theme
$( ".selector" ).collapsible( "option", "theme", "a" );
// apply new styles
$( ".selector" ).collapsible().trigger('create');
});

Add dynamically TinyMCE Textarea on Newly tabs

I using tab's JQuery plugin UI each tab contains TextArea then are manage by TinyMCE librarie.
I want to do : When you click on tab "+" , that add new tab which contains textarea too.
To create new tab with textearea , it's good. The problem is : I can't edit textarea value and if i click on TinyMCE 's option ( like Bold ) : J is null error on Javascript console
My JS Code :
$('li > a.moretxt').click(function(){
// Number of element in tabs
var size = $( "#tabs" ).tabs("length");
// Content to add on new tab
var content = "<div id='divcontent"+size+"'><textarea id=\'txtcontent"+size+"'\' cols=\'60\' rows=\'5\'></textarea></div>";
// Some variable
var path = '#divcontent'+size;
var title = 'content'+size;
var idtxt = 'txtcontent'+size;
// Add new div Textarea before the end
$('div#morecontent').before(content);
//Add control ?
tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', true, idtxt);
// Add new TAB
$( "#tabs" ).tabs("add",path,title,(size));
var index = $( "#tabs" ).tabs("option", "selected");
});
The follow code , well add tab with tiny TextArea but it doesn't works ...
TinyMCE needs to have the object in the DOM to apply itself. I'm not sure why TinyMCE isn't working as you appear to be are adding the container prior to adding TinyMCE, however if you move the "addControl" to after you've added the new Tab it should work.

jQuery combobox: standard script to catch selected value of combobox does not work

I'm using jqueryui combobox example at http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/combobox.html
I added the script seen below to catch the selected value of combobox:
<div id="selectedOpt">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#combobox").change(function() {
var retval = $(this).val();
$("#selectedOpt").html("retval=" + retval);
});
});
</script>
However, it does not work as expected:
the div selectedOpt does not show selected value of combobox each time
the change event occurs
If "show underlying effect" is selected (pls try at url above), a standard dropdown list
appear. When trying to change value of
that dropdown list, then the div
selectedOpt is able to show value
correctly.
The goal is to have div selectedOpt display the selected option of the combobox.
Please advise and please explain why (1) does not work while (2) works.
PS: all neccessary js, css are correctly included.
Thanks for your kind attention.
SOLUTION FOUND:
http://robertmarkbramprogrammer.blogspot.com/2010/09/event-handling-with-jquery-autocomplete.html
Please change your script to match the code below:
<script>
function test()
{
var retval = $("[id *=dropdown] :selected").val();
$("#selectedOpt").html("retval=" + retval);
}
</script>
And call this script from the server side like this:
dropdown.Attributes.Add("onchange","javascript: return test();")
To show label or value of combobox in your div you have to include your function as an option. Something like this:
$( ".selector" ).autocomplete({
change: function(event, ui) {
$("#selectedOpt").html("retval=" + ui.item.value);
}
});
Use ui.item.label if you want a label instead.

jquery UI : how to define icon for button in HTML

I can define icon for a jquery ui button in code like this;
$( ".selector" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-gear'} });
but I would like to define button icon in HTML code. for example
button
this way I can only call..
$( ".selector" ).button();
in onready event and define icons in code. otherwise I need to call button() method for every button that have different icon.
You could use the Metadata Plugin.
button
And the script
$(".jqbutton")
.each(function(){
var data = $(this).metadata();
$(this).button({ icons: {primary:data.icon} });
});
I've never used this directly, but I have used it through its support in the jquery validation plugin.
The Metadata Plugin works fine, and you can even do more: you can also set ALL the init properties of a jQuery UI button (other widgets too):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.jq-button').each(function(){
var meta=$(this).metadata();
$(this).button(meta);
});
});
</script>
New item
Thanks, TJB - great idea! :)
You can set the icon after initializing the button using the "options" parameter
$(".jqbutton").button();
$(".jqbutton.ui-icon-gear").button( "option", "icons",
{primary:'ui-icon-gear'} );
http://jqueryui.com/demos/button/#option-icons
EDIT: the link isn't direct, so just look for the Options tab and select 'icons' then look # the section that says 'Get or set the icons option, after init'
The following code looks for "ui-icon-[icon-name]" in the class-attribute of all elements containing the class "jqbutton" and creates a button with an "ui-icon-[icon-name]" icon.
$(function() {
$(".jqbutton").each(function() {
var obj = $(this);
var icon = false;
var c = obj.attr('class');
var i1 = c.indexOf('ui-icon-');
if (i1 != -1) {
var i2 = c.indexOf(" ", i1);
icon = c.substring(i1, i2 != -1 ? i2 : c.length);
obj.removeClass(icon);
}
obj.button({
icons : {
primary : icon
}
});
});
});
