jQuery UI tabs - how to change tab position - jquery-ui

I have created tab layout as in this example http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#bottom with controls bellow the panel. I have 3 default tabs, which can't be delted and than user can add some more tabs and also delete them.
The problem is that the default tabs should be on the top like there http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#default so because UI doesn't support two control panels, I have created new element looking like control panel on top <p class="ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-top tabs-header-top"></p> with fixed heigth. But now I don't know how to move the default tabs to the right position. I tried adding them position: relative; top:-20em; ,but to make this working, the whole tab container must have fixed heigth and that's bad, because I need it to stretch within the window to be as big as possible.
So is there any other way how to move the default tabs to the top?
Thanks
edit: here is example of my idea, but achieved with fixd heigth http://jsfiddle.net/L6QjK/2/
To be clear: This method is technicaly working, so the questin is not about making tabs with two control panels, but about positioning the tabs

Not sure if it will work, but try creating two DIVs, one with default styling and one with the bottom styling:
<div class="tabs">...
<div class="tabs tabs-bottom">
and then use $(".tabs").tabs(...)

So finally I managed to create two control panels on my own by changing the jquery ui code.
If somebody is trying to make same thing as I here are some tips:
1) To create multiple control panels, find this.list=this.element.find("ol,ul)").eq(0)
now, the .eq(0) selector causes, that onlz the first ul or ol is made to control panel, so I simply modified the find selector to this :this.list=this.element.find("ol,ul:lt(2))") and the :lt(2) selector will make first two ULs to two control panels. Now we have two control panels and it is all about css positioning, you can get isnpired here http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#bottom to move one control panle to the bottom.
2)I am using schema, that the first control panel contains static tabs, and to the second one are added dznamic tabs. So I also needed to change the target during adding tabs. For this you have to find h.appendTo(this.list) and change it to h.appendTo(this.list[1]) because ad.1) this.list now contains two elements and I want the tabs add to the second one.
So finaly to make two control panels tab layout isn't that hard

Why tab selection arrows from FMX TabControl disappear at runtime?

I have a TabControl with many tabs. During the design time there is a control artifact like the one the image below where I can scroll the tabs that are not visible, since there is no available space to show them all.
However at runtime it shows up like this:
[
The only way to select the other non visible tabs is using the keyboard arrows when focusing on any of the visible tabs.
The user will not know that there are more hidden tabs with this problem.
The FullSize parameter does not change anything on runtime. Clipchildren, ClipParent, etc does not cause any change.

One Page parallax levels/layers

Not sure where to look for an answer, but here's my quest:
http://www.mobiliteitsvisie.nl/
On this site I've made a one page parallax, but when scrolling the main text moves underneath the menubar, but the headers (h3 & h4) seem to move over it...
But where would I need to adjust this? In the .css or in the .js file?
Thanks in advance!

Since you're problem is with the style you need to make a change to the CSS.
In your case you want to get the menu on top of all other objects. Just give the menu container a large z-index.
Add this to your css file:
header {
z-index: 100;
}
The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element.
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
Note: z-index only works on positioned elements (position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed).
Additional question about the same site. When scrolling through the site, the menu-item should change with every slide it passes. At this moment the last clicked menu-item is highlighted, even when scrolling through to the several slides. Is there an easy way to make that work in CSS? Or would that be possible by just adding a jQuery.nav.js to the index.html?

navigate between two listview with slide motion in jQuery mobile

is it possible to navigate between two listview or even two view which has its own listview inside with slide motion in jQuery mobile, now as i implement the first sample when i click on a listview it does not have any motion, it just refresh and the other view come to browser. my purpose is to navigate between two view as like as native ios application which second view slide into first view from right to left.
is this possible with jQuery mobile?
thanks
solution without changing pages
if you don't want to change your page, a possible solution would be to wrap each listview in a swipable <div />.
There are some plugins out there like:

solution with changing pages
If you're looking for standard page-transitions, take a look #
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/page-transitions.html
data-transition="slide" like #Omar said would fit your requirements.
try this
<li data-transition="slide"></li>

Horizontal scrolling toolbar implementation

I am trying to add a horizontal toolbar at he top of my application (uses android webview and jquery mobile) that contains a bunch of buttons (too many to fit across the screen in a single line).
The problem that I am facing is that instead of hiding the extra buttons, they wrap around to the next line. What I would like is for them to hide and be accessible by scrolling them horizontally just like a native ListView would allow me to do.
I have tried to use a ListView to put the buttons in, and pass the button presses to the javascript code by doing loadUrl(), but this causes other issues and is not usable in my case (it automatically hides the soft keyboard).
I have tried the following code (along with this code wrapped in a jquery mobile toolbar):
<ul data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
<li>B</li>
<li>I</li>
<li>U</li>
<li>S</li>
<li>ol</li>
<li>ul</li>
<li>in</li>
<li>out</li>
<li>sub</li>
<li>sup</li></ul>
But this just wraps around to the next line.
Try putting the ul in a div, and set the div's width property to a large value, enough to accomodate all the buttons. Then set the overflow property to auto, and you should be good to go.

Jquery UI Tabs with Jquery UI Widgets in tabs acting strange

I have three tabs in a Jquery UI tabs widget. Inside of the tabs I am creating a Wijmo Grid. One on each tab. The Grid is based on Jquery UI as well. The grid on the first tab seems fine.
The grid on the second and third tabs (the hidden ones) have strange sizing issues. The Grid on one appears roughly 10 pixels wide and the full height. The one on the third tab appears about 50 by 50 pixels.
I know the code on those tabs is fine because if I make one of those the primary tab then it works fine and the other two are broken. So I think it is some sort of interaction between the Jquery UI Tabs widget and the contents of the tabs (a Wijmo Grid). Does anyone know what causes this strange interaction and what I can do to make it work predictably?
The Grid does size calculation when initializing. It needs to be displayed somehow when doing so.
You can add class="ui-helper-hidden-accessible" to make it off screen when rendering.
Make sure you initialize the grids then the widgets. Or you can call $("#grid").wijgrid("doRefresh"); when the tab is activated that it is contained in.
