The best way to load Content?

Hello,

I will build an Application with a Menu (Tree) leftside and on the rightside my content.
Both are inside a Layoutcontainer (cell a and b).
I added a Tabbar to my Content-Cell b.

Now I wan´t to load my Modules(HTML, Javascript-Code, … ??) after clicking in my Menu in seperate Tabs, but I do not know what is the best way to do this at all.

It would be best to load the code/content after clicking the menu item dynamicly, but I do not know how…
…or is there a better solution?

Thanks for your help,
Kai

Use the attachEvent method your tree on the left. Point it to a function aka create_tab(id). Define an object that will hold the ids of your tabs (do this at the top of your script). In the create_tab function, use the addTab method to add a new tab. Your menu should have an id by default, use that id to create a tab and store that id in your object you created earlier. You can check if a tab is already created by using if(objectVar[id]) { your code here } else { setTabActive(id) }

Thanks for your fast reply!

My question is still, “as I have to write the code”.

Finally, I want the tab content is loaded only, when I call the addTab-method.

The

  • tabbar.setContentHref(“calendar”,“my-content.php”)
    and load something it is not perfect, because I must include the dhtml.js & .css again in my my-content.php.

  • and the other ways I know, execute the code before I added into a Tab.

Thanks so much again for your solution!

I guess I don’t understand the question “as I have to write the code”.

lets say you do this:

app.tabbar.addTab(id,"My tab");

you can then use the method attachURL like so:

app.tabbar.cells(id).attachURL("path/to/file.php");

this will create an iFrame in which you can still access methods from the parent frame.
See: http://docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtmlxlayout:urlattaching

Hope this helps.

On a side note, I am having problems with the whole iFrame experience right now and hoping to get an answer from the dhtmlx team.

Yes, the simplest way is using attachURL() method
