I defined my jQuery tabs like this:
$('#serviceTabs').tabs({
idPrefix: 'ui-subtabs-',
spinner: 'Retrieving data...',
cache: false,
select: function(event, ui) {
if(checkServiceTabs(ui.index))
{
$('#ui-subtabs-'+(currentDetailTab+1)).html(" ");
currentDetailTab = ui.index;
return true;
}
else
return false;
},
collapsible: true
});
Unfortunately after reloading my page the index of my tabs is raised incrementally.
So on first request my TabID's look like:
#ui-subtabs-1, #ui-subtabs-2, #ui-subtabs-3
after reloading my page it looks like:
#ui-subtabs-4, #ui-subtabs-5, #ui-subtabs-6
The side effect is, that the tabs are locked after reload. The select event doesn't work anymore.
FYI: The tabs are in a DIV and merged with $.get function.
So i don't reload the whole page but only the div.
Before the new request I already blank the div with .html(" ") and I also tried
$('#serviceTabs').tabs("destroy");
Does anybody have an idea how to delete the TabID cache ?
Unfortunately, the tabIndex variable from which the TabID is coming from is encapsulated in the anonymous function of the Tabs plugin, making it totally invisible to the outside world. It is only incremented and the plugin offers no method to be able to reset it. Even destroying the instance of the plugin would not help.
On the overview page of the plugin's documentation though, it is specified that the tab containers can be references using the Title attribute of the <a> elements serving as tab buttons.
You would have then this kind of markup for the tab buttons:
<li> ... </li>
This will create tab containers with the title as ID (replacing spaces with underscores):
<div id="My_Tab_1"> ... </div>
You would have then to modify you select method accordingly.

I'm using the most recent JQuery UI Tabs (1.10.2). http://jqueryui.com/tabs/
I need to be able to link to individual tabs from external pages. Maybe the more correct way to say it would be to say that I need to be able to change the initially active tab via a bookmarble link.
I know how to set the active index so that #tabs-3 is the active tab
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({ active: 5 });
But I need to know how to change the value for .tabs({ active }) with the url hash so that a link of "tabs-page.html#tabs-3" will load the third tab of "tabs-page.html" by changing .tabs({ active }) to "2" (since it is a zero-based integer).
I'm really more of an html/css designer and a novice to JQuery/JQuery UI, please and thank you for your help. I've searched and found fixes for earlier versions and alternate libraries like JQuery Tools, but nothing for JQuery 1.10.2. I've found ways to link to the section and then reset the window location, but that results in a lot of "jumpiness" as the browser switches between window locations. If there is another page with this fix please link in the comments. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
You will need to read the value of the hash within your jQuery. Some good information can be found here Getting URL hash location, and using it in jQuery
var url = "http://site.com/file.htm#3";
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#',''); // '3'
Once you have this, you will be able to set the active tab on the jqueryUI Tabs
$('#tabs').tabs( "option", "active", hashValue );
You would need to do all of this when the page initially loads, so within a $(function(){ ... });
Update
Here is the full code;
<script>
$(function () {
// run the jquery ui plugin
$('#tabs').tabs();
// grab the url
var url = document.URL;
// grab the value of the hash
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#', '');
// check to make sure it is a number
if (!isNaN(hashValue)) {
// set the active tab
$('#tabs').tabs("option", "active", hashValue);
}
});
</script>
I have problem getting newer version of jscrollpane to work with jQuery UI tabs.
I get only one tab (first one) working, but no others; i tried fix explained here with previous version, placing additional <div> controlled by tabs (and inside are divs controlled by jScrollPane) , as described here, but still with no luck. Has anyone experienced simmilar issues ? Thanks for clues!
I came to solution at last more/less on my own, of course with help by looking at this explanation given by jscrollpane author himself about this issue, but for previous version of jscrollpane.
As this did not work out of the box, and i still had problems implementing the solution, i added a click listener to tabs links, and when clicked, added jscrollpane to content div, like this
jQuery("#tabs ul li a").click(function () {
clickednum = "#tabs-" + jQuery(this).parent().attr("id");
jQuery(clickednum + " .skroler").jScrollPane();
});
what i am doing here, is to wait for user to click on some tab link, and then add jScrollPane to tab content that coresponds to clicked tab link.
.skroler is an extra-div where is tab content, because it is described by script author that it must be done this way in order to work)
I am reckognizing tabs by li id attribute (which i was in need to generate from PHP. for other reasons)
This is specific implementation - from working example, probably it could be done simpler in other environment.
Ah, and of course, at the start of the story, you need to initialize jScrollPane to first opened tab like
jQuery("#tabs-1 .skroler").jScrollPane();
I have the same problem and solved it by adding ids to the li tags that correspond to the generated tabs:
<ul>
<li id="details">Details</li>
<li id="history">History</li>
<li id="examinations">Examinations</li>
<li id="diagnosis">Diagnosis</li>
</ul>
Then, for example:
$('#diagnosis').click(function() {
$('.diagnosis').jScrollPane();
});
Just ran into the same issue
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({
//for the initially loaded tab
create: function( event, ui ) {
$(ui.panel).jScrollPane();
},
//for the tabs opened later
activate: function( event, ui ) {
$(ui.newPanel).jScrollPane();
},
});

I have a custom select menu (multiple) defined as follows:
<select name="DanceStyles" id="DanceStyles" multiple="multiple" data-native-menu="false">
Everything works fine except that I want to move the header's button icon over to the right AND display the Close text. (I have found some mobile users have a problem either realising what the X icon is for or they have trouble clicking it, so I want it on the right with the word 'Close' making too big to miss.) There don't seem to be any options for doing that on the select since its options apply to the select bar itself.
I have tried intercepting the create event and in there, finding the button anchor and adding a create handler for that, doing something like this (I have tried several variations, as you can see by the commenting out):
$('#search').live('pagecreate', function (event) {
$("#DanceStyles").selectmenu({
create: function (event, ui) {
$('ul#DanceStyles-menu').prev().find('a.ui-btn').button({
create: function (event, ui) {
var $btn = $(this);
$btn.attr('class', $btn.attr('class').replace('ui-btn-left', 'ui-btn-right'));
$btn.attr('class', $btn.attr('class').replace('ui-btn-icon-notext', 'ui-btn-icon-left'));
// $(this).button({ iconpos: 'right' });
// $btn.attr('class', $btn.attr('class').replace('ui-btn-icon-notext', 'ui-btn-icon-left'));
// // $btn.attr('data-iconpos', 'left');
$(this).button('refresh');
}
});
}
});
});
So I have tried resetting the button options and calling refresh (didn't work), and changing the CSS. Neither worked and I got weird formatting issues with the close icon having a line break.
Anyone know the right way to do this?
I got this to work cleanly after looking at the source code for the selectmenu plugin. It is not in fact using a button; the anchor tag is the source for the buttonMarkup plugin, which has already been created (natch) before the Create event fires.
This means that the markup has already been created. My first attempt (see my question) where I try to mangle the existing markup is too messy. It is cleaner and more reliable to remove the buttonMarkup and recreate it with my desired options. Note that the '#search' selector is the id of the JQ page-div, and '#DanceStyles' is the id of my native select element. I could see the latter being used for the id of the menu, which is why I select it first and navigate back up and down to the anchor; I couldn't see any other reliable way to get to the anchor.
$('#search').live('pagecreate', function (event) {
$("#DanceStyles").selectmenu({
create: function (event, ui) {
$('ul#DanceStyles-menu').prev().find('a.ui-btn')
.empty()
.text('Done')
.attr('class', 'ui-btn-right')
.attr("data-" + $.mobile.ns + "iconpos", '')
.attr("data-" + $.mobile.ns + "icon", '')
.attr("title", 'Done')
.buttonMarkup({ iconpos: 'left', icon: 'arrow-l' });
}
});
});
The buttonMarkup plugin uses the A element's text and class values when creating itself but the other data- attributes result from the previous buttonMarkup and have to be removed, as does the inner html that the buttonMarkup creates (child span, etc). The title attribute was not recreated, for some reason, so I set it myself.
PS If anyone knows of a better way to achieve this (buttonMarkup('remove')? for example), please let us know.
the way i achieved it was changing a bit of the jquery mobile code so that the close button always came to the right, without an icon and with the text, "Close"
not the best way i agree. but works..
I got a similar case, and I did some dirty hack about this :P
$("#DanceStyles-button").click(function() {
setTimeout(function(){
$("#DanceStyles-dialog a[role=button]").removeClass("ui-icon-delete").addClass("ui-icon-check");
$("#DanceStyles-dialog .ui-title").html("<span style='float:left;margin-left:25px' id='done'>Done</span>Dance Styles");
$("#DanceStyles-dialog .ui-title #done").click(function() {
$("#DanceStyles").selectmenu("close")
});
},1);
} );
In my jquery-mobile (1.0RC2) application, I have two pages: test1.html, test2.html
The first page, test1.html, includes an collabsible-set, where I expand one collabsible item via script in the pageinit event listener (tried both pageshow and pageinit):
$('#page1').live( 'pageinit', initPage);
function initPage() {
alert('initPage!'); // this line seems to be always getting executed
$('#my_expandable').trigger('expand'); // ... but this line doesn't when coming back via a back link!
}
This works fine on the first call of the page.
Then I have a link that leads me to the second page test2.html, as follows:
<script>
function goPage2(criteria) {
$('#page1').die( 'pageinit', initPage);
$.mobile.changePage( "test2.html", {reverse: false, reloadPage: true} );
}
</script>
page 2
When I then go back to the first page via
<script>
function goPage1() {
$.mobile.changePage( "test1.html", { reverse: true, reloadPage: true} );
}
</script>
test
only the alert message in the pageinit event listener of test1.html is executed, but the collapsible is not being expanded through the
You can see the sample in action here: http://bit.ly/rr0dq3
How to reproduce the problem:
load test1.html at http://bit.ly/rr0dq3
you will get an alert message, and the collapsible will be expanded
click on the button 'GoTo page2' and you will come to the second page test2.html
on this second page, click on the gray button 'test', and you will come back to the first page test1.html
the problem now: as you can see, the alert command of the pageinit event of test1.html is being executed, but expanding the collapsible isn't - why not? Obviously the pageinit event listener method is being entered properly, but only the collapsible seems to have a problem here.
I think it might be a bug (filed a report here https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/2791), but maybe somebody else has an idea for that.
Workaround:
Both the alert and the collapsible expanding is being executed when I use a different way to to open the second page test2.html, using
window.location.href = "test2.html";
instead of
changePage(...);
But it's not very satisfying. Why does it not work properly if I use the the page injection way? I already call the die() method when I open the different pages in order not to have multiple pageinit event listeners keeping hanging around.
Have you tried using the data-attribute for collapsible content areas that makes them load expanded:
data-collapsed="false"
Here is a link to the docs for this behavior: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0rc2/docs/content/content-collapsible.html
So I have some jQuery UI tabs. The source code is as follows:
HTML:
<div class="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Ranges</li>
<li>Collections</li>
<li>Designs</li>
</ul>
<div id="ranges"></div>
<div id="collections"></div>
<div id="designs"></div>
</div>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tabs").tabs();
});
My problem is that I am trying to make each tab load a page into the content panel on click of the relevant link. To start with I am just trying to set the html of all the panels on clicking a link. From the code below, if I use method 1, it works for all links. However if I use method 2 it doesn't - but only for the links in the tabs (i.e. the labels you click to select a tab).
Method 1 (works for all links all the time, but would not be applied to links which are added after this is called):
$("a").click(function () {
$("#ranges, #collections, #designs").html("clicked");
});
Method 2 (works for all links which are not "tabified"):
$("a").live("click", function () {
$("#ranges, #collections, #designs").html("clicked");
});
Does anyone know why it is behaving like this? I would really like to get method 2 working properly as there may well be links which I need to add click events to which are added after the page is originally loaded.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
PS yes the function calls for .live and .click are both in the $(document).ready() function, before anyone says that that may be the problem - otherwise it wouldn't work at all..
Edit:
The solution I came up with involves an extra attribute in the anchors (data-url) and the following code (which outputs a 404 not found error if the page cannot be loaded). I aim to expand this over the next few weeks / months to be a lot more powerful.
$(".tabs").tabs({
select: function (event, ui) {
$(ui.panel).load($(ui.tab).attr("data-url"), function (responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
switch (XMLHttpRequest.status) {
case 200: break;
case 404:
$(ui.panel).html("<p>The requested page (" + $(ui.tab).attr("data-url") + ") could not be found.</p>");
break;
default:
$(ui.panel).html("<p title='Status: " + XMLHttpRequest.status + "; " + XMLHttpRequest.statusText + "'>An unknown error has occurred.</p>");
break;
};
});
}
});
I don't know if I understand what you are going for but basically you want to do something once a tab is clicked?
Here's the docs for setting up a callback function for selecting a tab.
EDIT: Don't know if that link is working correctly, you want to look at select under Events. But basically it is:
$("#tabs").tabs({
select: function(event, ui) { ... }
});
Where ui has information on the tab that was clicked.
jQuery UI tabs has an outstanding issue where return false; is used instead of event.preventDefault();. This effectively prevents event bubbling which live depends on. This is scheduled to be fixed with jQuery UI 1.9 but in the meantime the best approach is use the built in select event as suggested by #rolfwaffle.
Maybe the tabs() plugin that you are using is calling event.preventDefault(); (Reference) once it has created it's tabs.
Then it captures the click event and the bubbling stops, so it doesn't invoke your click-function. In jQuery this is done with
$(element).click(function(){
// Do stuff, then
return false; // Cancels the event
});
You'd have to alter the tabs() plugin code and remove this return false; statement, OR if you are lucky, the plugin might have an option to disable that behavior.
EDIT: Now I see you're using jQuery UI. Then you should check the documentation there, since it is an awesome plugin, it will do anything you want if you do the html right and pass it the right options.
