    <div id="overview-main">

        <p>Tabs are generally used to break content into multiple sections that can be swapped to save space, much like an accordion.</p>

<p>By default a tab widget will swap between tabbed sections onClick, but the events can be changed to onHover through an option. Tab content can be loaded via Ajax by setting an href on a tab.</p>

<p><em>NOTE: Tabs created dynamically using .tabs( "add", ... ) are given an id of ui-tabs-NUM, where NUM is an auto-incrementing id. If you use this naming convention for your own elements, you may encounter problems.</em></p>

<p>A series of events fire when interacting with a tabs interface:

</p>

<ul><li> tabsselect, tabsload, tabsshow (in that order)

</li><li> tabsadd, tabsremove

</li><li> tabsenable, tabsdisable

</li></ul>

<p>Event binding example:

</p>

<pre>$('#example').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {

    // Objects available in the function context:

    ui.tab     // anchor element of the selected (clicked) tab

    ui.panel   // element, that contains the selected/clicked tab contents

    ui.index   // zero-based index of the selected (clicked) tab

});</pre>

<p>Note that if a handler for the tabsselect event returns false, the clicked tab will not become selected (useful for example if switching to the next tab requires a form validation).

</p>

<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="http://docs.jquery.com/action/edit/Template:UIAPIPlugin?section=2" title="Template:UIAPIPlugin">edit</a>]</div><a name="Ajax_mode"></a><h2> Ajax mode </h2>

<p>Tabs supports loading tab content via Ajax in an unobtrusive manner.

</p><p>The HTML you need is slightly different from the one that is used for static tabs: A list of links pointing to existing resources (from where the content gets loaded) and no additional containers at all (unobtrusive!). The containers' markup is going to be created on the fly:

</p>

<pre>

<div id="example">

     <ul>

         <li><a href="ahah_1.html"><span>Content 1</span></a></li>

         <li><a href="ahah_2.html"><span>Content 2</span></a></li>

         <li><a href="ahah_3.html"><span>Content 3</span></a></li>

     </ul>

</div>

</pre>

<p>Obviously this degrades gracefully - the links, e.g. the content, will still be accessible with JavaScript disabled.

</p><p>Note that if you wish to reuse an existing container, you

could do so by matching a title attribute and the container's id:

</p>

<pre>

<li><a href="hello/world.html" title="Todo Overview"> ... </a></li>

</pre>

<p>and a container like:

</p>

<pre>

<div id="Todo_Overview"> ... </div>

</pre>

<p>(Note how white space is replaced with an underscore)

</p><p>This is useful if you want a human readable hash in the URL instead of

a cryptic generated one.

<p>Tabs 2 already supported this functionality, although the history plugin needs a rewrite first (it doesn't support Safari 3 and is in general a little inflexible) before it can be build back into the tabs. It is planned and Klaus is working on it whenever he finds the time. Actual bugs in the UI Tabs plugin itself always have higher priority though.

<p>Add the necessary classes to hide an inactive tab panel to the HTML right away - note that this will <b>not</b> degrade gracefully with JavaScript being disabled:

</p>

<pre>&lt;div id=&quot;example&quot; class=&quot;ui-tabs&quot;&gt;

  ...

  <div id="a-tab-panel" class="ui-tabs-hide"> </div>

  ...

&lt;/div&gt;</pre>

<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="http://docs.jquery.com/action/edit/Template:UIAPIPlugin?section=13" title="Template:UIAPIPlugin">edit</a>]</div><a name="...my_slider.2C_Google_Map.2C_sIFR_etc._not_work_when_placed_in_a_hidden_.28inactive.29_tab.3F"></a><h3>...my slider, Google Map, sIFR etc. not work when placed in a hidden (inactive) tab?</h3>

<p>Any component that requires some dimensional computation for its initialization won't work in a hidden tab, because the tab panel itself is hidden via <code>display: none</code> so that any elements inside won't report their actual width and height (0 in most browsers).

</p><p>There's an easy workaround. Use the <em>off-left technique</em> for hiding inactive tab panels. E.g. in your style sheet replace the rule for the class selector ".ui-tabs .ui-tabs-hide" with

</p>

<pre>.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-hide {

    position: absolute;

    left: -10000px;

}</pre>

<p>For Google maps you can also resize the map once the tab is displayed like this:

</p>

<pre>$('#example').bind('tabsshow', function(event, ui) {

    if (ui.panel.id == "map-tab") {

        resizeMap();

    }

});</pre>

resizeMap() will call Google Maps' checkResize() on the particular map.
