JQuery tab tool

[gord]

Sorry, I've just realised the exec script is wrong. Try:

<script>
$(function() {
	// setup ul.tabs to work as tabs for each div directly under div.panes
	$("ul.tabs").tabs("div.panes > div");
});
</script>

Unfortunately it still seems to act the same way. This is how it looks currently:

Think its best just quitting this angle? Quite annoying as I was very keen to get it in this project, would look pretty nice.

Well, your CSS isn't working, a simple test of that is the fact you can see the content, which should be hidden by display: none on that element in the CSS.

So don't give up, we've come so far.

What happens when you go to http://dc1:8089/wp-romedic/wp-content/themes/featurepitch/tabs.css

 

[Shicky]

It goes to the css file itself. I assumed it just looked like it wasnt working as it links background images I dont have

Sorry, I mean what's in it. I was looking at your page and thinking in source view in Firefox, which when you click a css link shows you the css.

Edit: I think I know what may be wrong, if youve just taken the tabs.css from their demo page. They have included this in the header, which is paramount. Add this to your tabs.css

/* tab pane styling */
.panes div {
	display:none;		
	padding:15px 10px;
	border:1px solid #999;
	border-top:0;
	height:100px;
	font-size:14px;
	background-color:#fff;
}

Sorry clearly I am not too sharp this morning. This is the css file:

/* root element for tabs  */
ul.tabs { 
	list-style:none; 
	margin:0 !important; 
	padding:0;	
	border-bottom:1px solid #666;	
	height:30px;
}

/* single tab */
ul.tabs li { 
	float:left;	 
	text-indent:0;
	padding:0;
	margin:0 !important;
	list-style-image:none !important; 
}

/* link inside the tab. uses a background image */
ul.tabs a { 
	background: url(/tools/img/tabs/blue.png) no-repeat -420px 0;
	font-size:11px;
	display:block;
	height: 30px;  
	line-height:30px;
	width: 134px;
	text-align:center;	
	text-decoration:none;
	color:#333;
	padding:0px;
	margin:0px;	
	position:relative;
	top:1px;
}

ul.tabs a:active {
	outline:none;		
}

/* when mouse enters the tab move the background image */
ul.tabs a:hover {
	background-position: -420px -31px;	
	color:#fff;	
}

/* active tab uses a class name "current". its highlight is also done by moving the background image. */
ul.tabs a.current, ul.tabs a.current:hover, ul.tabs li.current a {
	background-position: -420px -62px;		
	cursor:default !important; 
	color:#000 !important;
}

/* Different widths for tabs: use a class name: w1, w2, w3 or w2 */


/* width 1 */
ul.tabs a.s 			{ background-position: -553px 0; width:81px; }
ul.tabs a.s:hover 	{ background-position: -553px -31px; }
ul.tabs a.s.current  { background-position: -553px -62px; }

/* width 2 */
ul.tabs a.l 			{ background-position: -248px -0px; width:174px; }
ul.tabs a.l:hover 	{ background-position: -248px -31px; }
ul.tabs a.l.current  { background-position: -248px -62px; }


/* width 3 */
ul.tabs a.xl 			{ background-position: 0 -0px; width:248px; }
ul.tabs a.xl:hover 	{ background-position: 0 -31px; }
ul.tabs a.xl.current { background-position: 0 -62px; }


/* initially all panes are hidden */ 
.panes .pane {
	display:none;		
}

See above, you are missing a key style.

Sorry that was a bit dumb to miss. This is what I've got now:

The red at the bottom is just a bit of the footer i didnt clip

Do you have any idea what the underlying problem is here?

 

[gord]

Off the top of my head now, no. You have the tools included, the css is working, the markup is right and the exec script is right.

I see no immediate reason why it wouldn't work. If you want to add me to msn I can work through some things faster with you, but it may have to wait till later.

 

[Shicky]

Unfortunately my work blocks msn, scumbags! Skype works if that would do and here until 6.15pm or so. Skype name is shicky4.

Im a bit confused why it doesnt display the first pane of text and why when you click on a tab it flicks to the top of the page

 

[gord]

Solved: for others watching the thread.. old Jquery library version meant the tools weren't working properly.

Always a good idea to keep the latest version.

I usually just link direct to google's hosted copy as there is a good chance your users will already have it cached from other websites. I know it's only 70kb when not gzipped but it's still 70kb less for users to load.

Just a little follow up to this, all functions perfectly. However one issue there at the moment is the difference in height.

For example, some products require a pretty big table (greaters than 500pixels), other products only require 200pixels or less. So it looks a bit stupid and unbalanced with massive white space in a table under some. Is there a way to set my table to auto-adjust in height due to the content?

 

[Shicky]

ignore, google solves all
