Link to a specific tab on a tabbed page

Hmm. Each tab is referenced by an index. You can use the setSelectedIndex method, see the (very basic) documentation http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tabpane/tabpane.html. The tabset is referenced by the name you give it when you create it. To have this take effect on page load, I suppose you would need something like:

addLoadEvent(setTabPane);

function setTabPane() {
  var WebFXPane = $('myTabPaneName');
  if (WebFXPane && WebFXPane.tabPane) {
    WebFXPane.tabPane.setSelectedIndex(2);
  }
}

This is possible with the Drupal 5 version of this module.

Is their an updated way of doing this, I don't understand it. My problem is that I want a text link on my first tab linking to my second tab (for detailed info click here kind of thing). I posted the same request in the general forum but have not recieved an anwser. post #339393

Thank you

Still looking for help. Thanks

I'd welcome a patch that added support for active tabs.

I would be interested in this as well. I know very little about javascript though, could you point me in the right direction? I noticed the D5 version had this, maybe I can try and mimic the behavior.

I believe this is a duplicate of #573782: Linking to a specified tab, is it possible?
