I've learned how to create a jquery ui tab, thanks to http://jqueryui.com/tabs, and customized the look of it. I've been searching the web on how to highlight a selected tab by changing it's background color when someone clicks on it. So far, it's been frustrated and unsuccessful.
Here's the HTML Code Use:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});
</script>
<title>Jquery Tab Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tab-wrapper">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tabs1">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs2">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs3">Tab 3</a></li>
</ul>
<br class="clearboth" />
<div id="tabs1" class="tab-content">
Content 1
</div>
<div id="tabs2" class="tab-content">
Content 2
</div>
<div id="tabs3" class="tab-content tabs3">
Content 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
and CSS:
body, html {
height: 101%;
}
body {
font-family: arial;
}
.clearboth {
clear: both;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#tab-wrapper {
background-color: #f00fff;
border: solid 1px #909090;
padding: 5px;
width: 330px;
}
#tabs {
overflow: hidden;
}
#tabs ul li,
#tabs ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#tabs ul a {
float: left;
padding: 5px;
display: block;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #cccccc;
}
#tabs ul a:hover {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
#tabs .tab-content {
padding: 5px;
display: block;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
font-size: 10pt;
height: 300px;
border-top: solid 1px #000000;
}
Please help if anyone can.
Jquery assigns the selected tab the class="ui-tabs-active" so to style it simply hook your css into it as follows:
This works for me:
but the above answer did not - the order in the css file is important - the above is after hover.
