I'm a jQuery noob and I'm trying to figure out how to trap the tab selected event. Using jQuery 1.2.3 and corresponding jQuery UI tabs (not my choice and I have no control over it). It's a nested tab with the first level div name - tabs. This is how I initialized the tabs
$(function() {
$('#tabs ul').tabs();
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#tabs ul').tabs('select', 0);
});
I'm not able to figure out how to trap any of the events or properties (selected tab, when tab clicked, etc). Would appreciate any help on this...
I tried things like:
$('#tabs ul').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
selectedTab = ui.index;
alert('selectedTab : ' + selectedTab);
});
(OR)
$('#tabs').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
with no success.
Below is the markup
<div id="tabs">
<UL>
<LI><A href="#fragment-1"><SPAN>Tab1</SPAN></A></LI>
<LI><A href="#fragment-2"><SPAN>Tab2</SPAN></A></LI>
<LI><A href="#fragment-3"><SPAN>Tab3</SPAN></A></LI>
<LI><A href="#fragment-4"><SPAN>Tab4</SPAN></A></LI>
</UL>
<DIV id=fragment-1>
<UL>
<LI><A href="#fragment-1a"><SPAN>Sub-Tab1</SPAN></A></LI>
<LI><A href="#fragment-1b"><SPAN>Sub-Tab2</SPAN></A></LI>
<LI><A href="#fragment-1c"><SPAN>Sub-Tab3</SPAN></A></LI>
</UL>
</DIV>
.

.
</DIV>
it seems the old's version's of jquery ui don't support select event anymore.
This code will work with new versions:
$('.selector').tabs({
activate: function(event ,ui){
//console.log(event);
console.log(ui.newTab.index());
}
});
