jQuery tabs: Post previously selected tab when opening a new one
- by Bjorn Thor Jonsson
Hi
Having two forms, each in it's own jQuery UI tab, how can I post the form in the deselected tab when clicking a new tab?
This I need to do to maintain state at the server side when the user navigates between tabs.
I have looked into something like
$('#tab-container-id').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
...
});
but haven't found a way to get to the tab being hidden and post it's form contents.
One way to set this up would be to enclose the whole tab set inside a form element that would be submitted whenever a tab is selected but I would rather have a form inside each tab, each with it's own action (that gets bound to different Spring MVC command objects).
Thanks for any hints...
