Hello,


In this case you should open the page with tabbar and set the necessary tab active (after tabbar intialization):


tabbar.setTabActive(tab_id);

#3


yes, but that is only limited if they are under the same tabbar.



let say I have one tabbar at each page(page1 and pages2), each page has its own tabbar.



it is possible for me to go from page1-tab2 to page2-tab4 ?

Do you mean that there are pages inside your tabbar (inside tabbar iframes) and you want to call tabbar method from these pages ?


If you do, tabbar method can be called from iframe as follows:


parent.tabbar.setTabActive(tab_id);

#5


Possibly the following can be used:


window.open(page1?tab_id=tab2_id);


or


window.open(page2?tab_id=tab4_id);


It means that you can path the id of the tab which must be open as the parameter.

it works now, but another problem arise.



When I switch the tab within the same page, my url address still got the same one that has my tab_id=tab 4



I would like to have the parent url rather than the one with tad_id parameter once tab is being switch ??

You can reload page using following method:


tabbar.setContentHref(tab_id,new_href)

I have a similar problem. I would like to click a link on a html page opened in one tab to open another tab in the same tabbar. I am using tabbar.setHrefMode(“ajax-html”); to show different html pages for each tab.

Example:

tabbar.html opens with tab a1 setTabActive so tab_a1.html page shows. On the a1 page there is a link to switch to tab a2.

I’ve tried onclick=“window.open(‘tabbar.html?tab_id=a2’);” but that does several things wrong. First it opens a new window, and I want to switch tabs. Secondly when it opens the tabbar.html page the setTabActive kicks in an shows tab_a1.html instead of tab_a2.html. How can I have the tabbar.html page show tab a1 on initial loading but go to specific tabs if linked from inside any of those tab_aX.html pages or externally from another page?

Why don’t you want to use setTabActive method to show other tabs instead of window.open:

onclick=“tabbar.setTabActive(‘a2’)”

??
