jquery Tab group IDs
- by mare
I'm having an issue with jQuery UI Tabs script which does not pick up tabs that have a dot "." in their name (ID).
For instance like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#tabgroup\\.services").tabs();
});
</script>
<div id="tabgroup.Services">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tab.service1">
Service 1 title</a></li>
<li><a href="#tab.service2">
Service 2 title</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tab.service1">
<p>content</p>
</div>
<div id="tab.service2">
<p>content</p>
</div>
</div>
The problem is because to select an element with a dot in its name, you need to use escapes (like when I initialize the tabs on my tabgroup). And apparently the Tabs JS implementation does not do that. Although I can do it at the tab group level, I cannot do it lower down because that's implemented in the Tabs JS file and I would not want to modify it (if possible).
