Link to a specific tab of the jquery tab object

Post by mermaid »

Hi All,

Looking for a way to link from a text object on my home page to a specific tab on the tab object on another page of my site.
The tab object has 4 tabs and I would link to the content of the second tab. In other words after you click the text link on the home page you are taken to the open second tab of the jquery tab object.

Thanks,

Mer

This is possible by using anchors.

For example:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/page.html#indextabs1-page-1

where 'page-1' is the second page (zero-based index)

See also the information in the help.

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for the super fast reply and advice.

I have tried as you suggested but the link brings me to the page with the tab object but stays on the first tab instead of opening the second one.
The page with the tab object is named RR121.html and the id of the tab object is RR121Tabs1.

So, my link is set up as http://localhost/portal/RR121.html#RR121Tabs1-page-1.

I must have missed something.

Thanks,
Mer

Forgot to mention I am using ver. 15.

Perhaps I need to upgrade to ver. 16 for this to work?
