Remember Tab on postback Created Dec 18, 2009

I would seriously avoid using update panels with jQuery. There is a massive memory leak with them where we had to roll back our implementation because of it.

I also have this issue. I am not using ajax but just straight form update.

I'm using the code from here:http://flowplayer.org/tools/tabs.html

I have tried this but it doesn't work

var $tabs = $('ul.tabs').tabs(); 

$tabs.tabs('select', 2); 

In one of the tabs there is a form that is submitted to the same page. I need the tab opened after submission.

It would have helped me out a lot if this post was answered. I'm busy with a project that is using the jquery.tools tabs tool and with the following code (using a hidden field on the page):

    $("ul.tabsScenario").tabs("div.panes > div");
    var tabIndex = $('#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EnInDeToekomst1_HiddenFieldTabIndex').val();
    if (tabIndex) {
        $("ul.tabsScenario").tabs('select', tabIndex);
    }

the tab index is remembered when the web app is running under FireFox, Chrome or Safari, but not in IE7 or IE8. It's unacceptable that the web app doesn't work under IE. I've tried everything but cannot get it to work under IE. The jquery.ui tabs tool does work properly under IE but the way we implemented the tabs would mean that we would have to refactor the html and css too and I would like to avoid that. I hope someone knows how to get this working under IE.

My problem is solved (but not in this forum). For the solution follow this link:
