New to JQuery and I was wondering how do I keep any tabbed selected when a user reloads the web page? What part of my code do I need to change?
Here is my JQuery code.
$(document).ready(function() {
//When page loads...
$(".form-content").hide(); //Hide all content
var firstMenu = $("#home-menu ul li:first");
firstMenu.show();
firstMenu.find("a").addClass("selected-link"); //Activate first
tab
$(".form-content:first").show(); //Show first
tab content
//On Click Event
$("#home-menu ul li").click(function() {
$("#home-menu ul li a").removeClass("selected-link"); //Remove any "selected-link" class
$(this).find("a").addClass("selected-link"); //Add "selected-link" class to selected
tab
$(".form-content").hide(); //Hide all
tab content
var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); //Find the href attribute value to identify the selected-link
tab + content
$(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the selected-link ID content
return false;
});
});
Here is the XHTML code.
<div id="home-menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#personal-info-form" title="Personal Info Form Link">Personal Info</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact-info-form" title="Contact Info Form Link">Contact Info</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
