Introduction

This tag generates an TabbedPanel that loads content into the Tabs using an AJAX call.

For each tab you must specify an Tab Tag.

For Custom themes for the TabbedPanel take look at the Head Tag.

I am using Local Tabs (in new.jsp) In each div i included someOther.jsp

Now when I try to use a div in someOther.jsp it shows up in all the tabs, is there a work around this problem ?

Comment by project member johgep, Jan 19, 2010

don't include a full html page with <html>, <head> or <body> tag, this breaks your dom. Please use for further questions the user group.

How can you stack tabs to have a sub tab? I get the sub tabs to come up but the parent tabs are disabled.

Comment by davpat2...@gmail.com, Aug 7, 2010

sj:tab title attribute should override what is set in label to set custom tip tip. In the current implementation label attribute is always showing up in rendered title attribute.

I have 2 tabs with onChangeTopics defined. Clickign on the 2nd tab will reset the url of this 2nd tab by using a value set when a record is clicked from the 1st tab.

$('#remotetabs').tabs('url', '1', '/goToUserList?userSelectedId='+userSelectedId);

I am having a problem tho stopping the event from executing if no User is selected in the first tab. anyone with any ideas?

how to change the font of text field in jsp when tabbed panel ajax theme is used??

Comment by utpal.ca...@gmail.com, Apr 10, 2012

Hi, I am reloading a jsp using AJAX. The jsp has a tabbed panel. When the page loads initially, the tabbed panel comes well. After doing an AJAX call on a dropdown change event, the tabbed panel does not appear. The content of all the tabs appears on the page without the tabbed panel. Please tell me what went wrong??

Regards, Utpal
