Detecting the Active Tab

[dave1167]

Hi

I'm developing a  component which uses a form which has 3 tabs on it. There is a master record which is displayed in a form field at the top of the form, then each Tab is displaying a list of records associated with the master record    In order to use the new record button and edit button which will then open the correct save and edit functions .   I need to be able to detect the active Tab.  I can't seem to find any global variable which holds this information. 

Is there a way to find which tab is currently open?

Thanks in anticipation

Hello

U want to save info about which one tab is active ?

I use something like this.

$('#mwtripsTabs').on('show.bs.tab', function(e) {

var name = $(e.target).attr('href');

tabname_length = name.length;

tabname = name.substring(name.indexOf("#")+1, tabname_length);

jQuery.ajax({

method : 'POST',

url: 'index.php?option=com_mwtrips&task=trip.save_tab',

data: { tab_name: tabname }

})

.done(function(data) {

});

});

public function save_tab() {

$app = JFactory::getApplication();

$user = JFactory::getUser();

$response = array();

$jinput = $app->input;

$tabname = $jinput->get('tab_name','', 'STRING');

$app->setUserState('com_mwtrips.tab',$tabname);

$response['wiadomosc'] = "Gotowe";

echo json_encode($response);

$app->close();

}

Hi
it is not the active tab I need to save.  The page has three forms on it  all acccessed via 3 tabs

[Tab 1]  [Tab 2]  [Tab 3]

I need to know which tab is active so I can set up the toolbar/tasks to access the correct toolbar  buttons and correct model.   I suspect I need to use jQuery to find which tab has been clicked then pass that as a variable back to Joomla.  I am total novice on jQuery so I decided to set up a test based  on the first Tab only .  I figure if i can detect the first tab I can write  a routine to look at all the tabs and work out which one is being clicked :-
The code below is not workking.  I can get an alert box to appear  just on the document.ready function when the document loads, so I know jQuery is loaded , however when add in the click function I can't get the Tab1 id  to be recognised.   Has anyone got any ideas?  

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery("#Tab1").click(function(){
        alert("The Tab was clicked.");
    });
});Enter code here...
