wolvman and chris,

I was having the same flash problem with my tabs and how I fixed it was by removing the history_remote javascript. I just don’t include it in my page and it works fine.

I apologise in advance for having to ask because I’m sure this is very simple to achieve, but I’ve been struggling for the last couple days on it.

I’m trying to get “tabs within tabs” working … i.e. I have 3 main tabs, and within the 1st tab I want to have another independent group of tabs.

If at all possible, would you mind showing an example of how this should be done using tabs 2.7 ??

Thanks,
Philip

Matthew, as described already in this post, just add the proper class to the containers:

and so on. Or give Tabs 3 a try ;-) - it will do everything automatically.

Is there a way to add

tags to the content containers themselves?

I would like to create some tabs with sub-divisions (i.e., div’s within the div’s).

For example:

Products

Service

content here

Thanks in advance,

Matthew

Joe, this is because I’m also using my history plugin on the demo page together with the tabs. This enables the back button but a nice side effect is the bookmarkability of a tab as you have described. The key is that if you click on a tab ,the hash portion, technically correct the fragment identifier of the url changes, for example #fragment-11. If you then reload the page the plugin knows that it should activate the tab accordingly. Hope this makes sense.

This is a great piece of work. On your demo page your tabs maintain their state when the page is refreshed; if a tab is active it comes up active on the refreshed page. How do you do that? Would it work the same way with a contact form on the second tab, say, so that the user could see error or success messages? kind regards Joe Baich

Awesome plugin thanks for sharing it. I’m experiencingn one oddity though, when I link to the a specific tab from a seperate page I get the content that’s in the next tab. For example:

I link to tab#2 from the home page but when clicked on it, the page loads and the tab displayed is tab#2 with tab#3’s content. When I click around the tabs appear correctly once on the page. If I link to #3 I’ll get #4 with #3 tab. But, if I link to #1, I get #1 with the right content. Am I linking wrong? Have you come across this before? I hope this makes sense.
