Is it possible to apply an effect to a jquery-ui tab, I haven't seen any examples of it, and I'm fairly sure that if it is possible the following is incorrect:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs();
$("#tabs").effect(slide,options,500,callback);
});
</script>
You can do something like this, if you want the effect to happen when you change tags using the fx
option:
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs( { fx: { height: 'toggle' } } );
});
A fade + slide would be like this:
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs( { fx: { height: 'toggle', opacity: 'toggle' } } );
});
This applies the effects to the tabs themselves, you can take it for a spin here.
$(function () {
$("#tabs").tabs({
beforeLoad: function (event, ui) {
if (ui.tab.data("loaded")) {
event.preventDefault();
return;
}
ui.ajaxSettings.cache = false,
ui.panel.html('<img src="images/loader.gif" width="24" height="24" style="vertical-align:middle;"> Loading...'),
ui.jqXHR.success(function() {
ui.tab.data( "loaded", true );
}),
ui.jqXHR.error(function () {
ui.panel.html(
"Couldn't load Data. Plz Reload Page or Try Again Later.");
});
}
});
});
