I have jQuery UI tabs set up, but a problem that I'm having with links to different pages is that they load all contents of the page into the tab. This includes the footer, header, and other navbars that I don't want in the tab. What if I would only like to load a single ID from that page?
My tabs are set up this way:
<div id="mytabs">
<ul>
<li>Awesome page</li>
<li>Foo</li>
</ul>
</div>
Nothing much going on in the jQuery...
$(function() {
$( "#mytabs" ).tabs();
});
Let's say this is the html of "awesomepage" (that the first link targets):
<html>
<head>
<title>awesome page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">bla</div>
<div id="awesomeness">awesomeness!</div>
<div id="footer">fdsfd</div>
</body>
</html>
...And I only want the tab to load #awesomeness from the page. How would I go about doing this? I've read into some guides that do that by adding a data-target="#youridhere" attribute to the HTML, but I'm still confused on how to implement the javascript. It seems like this is a convenient solution, as I won't be targeting the same ID in every page. Any clues on how to get the javascript working?
Thanks in advance!
The function that allow to load partial code of the response is the $.load() function.
Unfortunately, the tabs() feature does not use this function but use $.ajax instead.
You can try this solution:
You can try to stop the default processing on the beforeLoad callback and manage your ajax call with the $.load() method.
(base on the 1.9 documentation, you may should adapt)
$('#tabs').tabs({
// Callback run when selecting a tab
beforeLoad: function(event, ui) {
// If the panel is already populated do nothing
if (ui.panel.children().size() > 0)
return false;
// Make your own ajax load (with fragment feature)
ui.panel.load(ui.tab.attr('href') + ' #yourFragment');
// stop the default process (default ajax call should not be launched)
return false;
});
NOTICE: I'm not sure about extracting the URL with ui.tab.attr('href'), check before what object is ui.tab, but it should be easy to retrieve the href parameter.
Good luck
Got the solution :) Using one of the answers as a reference point, the tabs can now load a single element specified in the data-target attribute. Here is the modified version:
$(function() {
$('#tabs').tabs(
{
beforeLoad: function(event, ui) {
if (ui.panel.children().size() > 0)
return false;
ui.panel.load($('a', ui.tab).attr('href') + $('a', ui.tab).attr('data-target'));
return false;
}
});
});

Lets say i have 10 Tabs. And one of these tabs will link to external URL. How to do it please?
I prefer to make it perform like a normal HREF action. Because when i use:
onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com';"
or
$("#tab-08").click(function(){ ........... });
.. there definitely is a DELAY about 1 or 2 seconds, upon the click of that particular Tab.
So how do i override a jQuery UI TAB back to normal link please?
Some more code would be useful but how about something like this?
Javascript:
$("#tabs").tabs({
active: false,
collapsible: true,
beforeActivate: function (event, ui) {
window.open($(ui.newTab).find('a').attr('href'), '_blank');
return false;
}
});
HTML:
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Page</li>
<li>Page</li>
</ul>
</div>
Your solution also works, but I think you are dealing with a browser related problem that is causing the delay.
I am using cordova 2.2.0 with Xcode 4.5.2. On one of my pages I have a select component and once a particular option is selected I want to display a table within a div. My html looks like this: <div class="hero-unit" id="#facprog"></div>
The javascript/jquery looks like this:
<pre><code>
$(function() {
$('#selFaculty').change(function() {
var facultyName = $('#selFaculty').val();
var progDetails = app.fillFacultyProgramme(facultyName);
alert(progDetails);
$('#facprog').append(progDetails);
});
});
</code></pre>
Note that #selFaculty is the id of the select object. However, when the select option changes, everything in javascript executes except for the append. Nothing shows up in the div. Is there a different way to add html element to a div in jquery under cordova 2.2.0 in iOS?
Thanks in advance,
José
With jquery you can refresh a div.
This is a good example:
<script>
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').fadeOut('slow').load('reload.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 20000);
</script>
and now you need to put the div in the body section of your page
<div id="loaddiv">
</div>
from http://designgala.com/how-to-refresh-div-using-jquery/
and there is another example here:
refresh div with jquery
The first example is useful when you need to load a script and refresh and the second one is useful when you need to make a change, e.g. append html and then refresh as in your case.
I want to load the content of a page that is in another folder (eg: "files/pages/example.html") for the div container by clicking on the button in jQuery Mobile!
How to do it?
<div data-role="page">
<div id="container" data-role="content"><button id="clickButton">Click me!</button></div>
</div>
The $.mobile.loadPage is the method you need. It allows you to load an external html file and insert it into the dom. Default for this method is to load it as an entire page, so you have to specify the options to load it into a dom element. This is an example (and untested) code:
$('#clickButton').on("click",function(){
$.mobile.loadPage("theURLofThePage",{pageContainer: $('#container')})
});
now, don't forget about the crossDomain security problem. I managed to make this work in firefox by adding:
$("#landingPage").live('pageinit', function() {
jQuery.support.cors = true;
$.mobile.allowCrossDomainPages=true;
});
Also, the page you are loading must be wrapped in a data-role=page div (let's say it has id='secondPage'). After the load, trigger on the data-role=page with id=secondPage div:
$('#secondPage").trigger('pagecreate');
I have a simple jquery script that shows and hides div block:
<script type="text/javascript">'
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".slidingDiv").hide();
$('.show_hide').click(function(){
$(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
});
});
</script>
<a class="show_hide" href="#">Show/hide</a>
<div name="gohere" class="slidingDiv">
...
</div>
It's working fine, but if the URL contains #gohere I want to automatically show this div and hide it only if .show_hide is clicked.
Set the divs ID to be gohere, then you can do:
$('.show_hide').click(function(){
$($(this).attr('href')).slideToggle();
});
since your href attribute will contain #gohere, the selector for the slidetoggle will end up being #gohere, which corelates to your divs ID.
EDIT:
for the first part of your question, you can get the current hash tag from window.location.hash.
if (window.location.hash.length > 0) {
$(window.location.hash).show();
}
You should probably put some better error checking in there, but it should work.
When dynamically creating a div using an .ajax() function. I'm unable to attach the .tabs() widget to the newly created .
This link creates the new div and pulls the #tabs div from "somefile.php"
Creates New Div
Here is the dynamically created div:
<div id="newdiv">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Example One</li>
<li>Example Two</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Here is the script I'm using. Output - Error: (d || "").split is not a function
Copy code
$( "#tabs" ).live(function(){
$(this).tabs()
});
I'm able to show the tabs when adding an event parameter, However I want the tabs to display without an event.
Copy code
$( "#tabs" ).live("click", function(){
$(this).tabs()
});
Someone please help me understand what I'm missing. I've been stuck on this for 3 days.

Are you trying to assign the live handler before the AJAX callback has completed?
My suspicion is you need to move your code into the success handler of your AJAX object and not use live because I don't think it does what you think.
If you post more of your code we'll be able to help you out a bit more.
My guess as to what you're trying to do:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/tabs/",
async: true,
success: function() {
$('#tabs').tabs()
}
});
RSG is correct in that you're using the live function incorrectly. The live function is specifically for attaching event handlers to elements and calling functions. As RSG pointed out, in your case the best thing to do is call the tabs widget in the success function of the ajax request.
