Using Primefaces tab view (<p:tabView>
), how to navigate from one tab to another tab?
For example:
<p:tabView id="tabPanel">
<p:tab id="tab1">
<p>Tab 1</p>
<a href="#">Go to tab2</a2>
</p:tab>
<p:tab id="tab2">
<p>Tab 2</p>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
You can use client side scripting api of PrimeFaces. Define a widgetVar
attribute in tabView
. Then use select(index)
client side api.
<p:tabView id="tabPanel" widgetVar="tabPanelWidget">
<p:tab id="tab1">
<p>Tab 1</p>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab(1);">Go to Tab2</a2>
</p:tab>
<p:tab id="tab2">
<p>Tab 2</p>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
Be carefull about the parameter to JS function. the index of tab , which is zero based, is passed to Javascript.
here is client side code
function changeTab(index)
{
tabPanelWidget.select(index);
}
tabView with Dynamic Content
Furthermore, if you have dynamic content you can simulate the client side api as user click the tab.
I go deep into source code of the component. A tabview component consist of a div and unordered list items which include a <a>
tags to click. Then i select that <a>
tags from the page and clicked with jquery.
See my jquery code:
function changeTab(tabId)
{
$('#formId\\:tabPanel ul li a[href="#form:tabPanel:"+tabId+"]').click();
}
Here is the details of selectors.
#formId\:tabPanel : formId
is the id of the page. If prependId="false"
is used this part can be skipped. \\
is escape for :
and tabPanel is the id of the tabview.
ul li : is unordered list items which represents tabs.
a[href="#form:tabPanel:"+tabId+"]' : <a>
tag whose href attribure is equals to tabId.
Furthermore, i inspect the source code from PrimeFaces showcase. It may be have some differences in your codes.
You can use the activeIndex
attribute of p:tabView
. You have to store it in a variable and then modify it using an action.
<p:tabView id="tabPanel" activeIndex="#{myBean.activeIndex}">
<p:tab id="tab1">
...
<p:commandLink action="#{myBean.goToTab(2)}">Go to Tab2</p>
</p>
<p:tab id="tab2">
...
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
MyBean:
public class MyBean {
private int activeIndex;
public void goToTab(int index) {
this.activeIndex = index;
}
}
You can change your TAB of Your tabview having this :
<p:tabView id="tabProyecto" widgetVar="tabPanelWidget" cache="false">
....
In any buttom you can call the jquery function "changeTabs"
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
});
var changeTabs= function (index) {
PF("tabPanelWidget").select(index);
};
...
</script>
There are typos in the answer by @erecan above, the form for dynamic tabs should be:
function changeTabDynamic(tabId)
{
$('#formId\\:tabPanel ul li a[href="#formId:tabPanel:'+tabId+'"]').click();
}
Provided as answer not comment for clear formatting
In fact you need to put:
function changeTab(index) {
tabPanelWidget.selectTab(index);
}
and not:
tabPanelWidget.select(index);
