Tabbar and IFrame question

We are seeing some strange behavior when calling tabbar.tabWindow(tab_id). When all the tabs are predefined in the xml file it returns the iframe handle.



But when we dynamically add a tab to the tabbar by calling addTab. Then calling tabWindow on the new tab it returns undefined/null. See the example code snippit below.



Here is an example xml document for a tabbar



<?xml version='1.0'?>





A1

A2









in our jsp





Thank you

Hello,

tabWindow method returns iframe object only when you use iframe-based modes: iframe, iframes and iframe-on-demand.

tabbar.setHrefMode(“iframes”)
tabbar.addTab(“a3”,“a3”,“100px”); // Add new tab dynamically…

tabbar.setContentHref(“a3”,href);
tabbar.tabWindow(‘a3’).name=“a3”;

Thank you very much for your fast response.  it’s working, but I noticed something a bit weird. 




   var tabbar=new dhtmlXTabBar(“a_tabbar”);
   tabbar.setImagePath("/ims/scripts/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTabbar/codebase/imgs/");
  
   //tabbar.loadXML(“test.xml”);    // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  HERE If I uncomment this line I only see the two tabs "A1 and A2 that are defined in the xml document. I don’t see the REVIEW TAB 
   
   tabbar.setHrefMode(“iframes”);
   
   tabbar.addTab(“REVIEW”,“REVIEW”,“100px”);
   tabbar.setContentHref(“REVIEW”, “”); 
   tabbar.tabWindow(“REVIEW”).name=“REVIEW”;




   Is it possbile to load from an xml file and then dynamically add new tabs?  If I comment the loadXML call I see the REVIEW tab.



XML doc:



<?xml version='1.0'?><tabbar  hrefmode=‘iframes-on-demand’>A1A2



Thank you.

Hello,


if you load tabbar from xml and add tab dynamically, addTab method should be called after xml loading and using setHrefMode isn’t necessary in this case:


var tabbar=new dhtmlXTabBar(“a_tabbar”);

tabbar.setImagePath("/ims/scripts/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTabbar/codebase/imgs/");


tabbar.loadXML(“test.xml”,onLoadingEnd)


function onLoadingEnd(){


tabbar.addTab(“REVIEW”,“REVIEW”,“100px”);
tabbar.setContentHref(“REVIEW”, “”);
tabbar.tabWindow(“REVIEW”).name=“REVIEW”;



});
