Cancel tab selection in jQuery

Question 1

Question by Mike

I have created some tool that has 4 pages.
I order to navigate between the pages I am using jQuery “tabs” (in the header of each page).

Is there a way to cancel the clicking operation after some tabs was clicked?
For example: If the page wasn’t saved the user will get a propper warning: “click YES in order to continue without saving or click NO in order to stay in the unsaved page”.

Thanks in advance.
Mike

In order to cancel or abort the tab’s ajax request do something like this

$('#tabs').tabs({
    ajaxOptions: {
        timeout: 10000,
        error: function() {
            // If error occurs while trying to load a page via AJAX, abort the tabs
            $('#tabs').tabs('abort');
        }
    }
});

I’m using tabs, but wondering if it’s possible to “refresh” tab content onclick?

Yes it is possible, but you dont need onClick event for this I think

use this

<div id="example">
     <ul>
         <li><a href="ajaxpage1.php"><span>Content 1</span></a></li>
         <li><a href="ajaxpage2.php"><span>Content 2</span></a></li>
         <li><a href="ajaxpage3.php"><span>Content 3</span></a></li>
     </ul>
</div>

Notice that: instead of giving the id of the tab’s division, a page link given
so every time you click on the tabs, it updates it

this degrades gracefully – the links, e.g. the content, will still be accessible with JavaScript disabled.

ps: I am assuming that you having a
working tabs

Tag: tabs
