i am using the existing jquery UI tabs..
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tabs-1">title 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2">title 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-3">title 3</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<p>t1 content</p>
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
<p>t2 content</p>
</div>
<div id="tabs-3">
<p>t3 content</p>
</div>
</div>
when rendered in the browser, jquery adds some set of classes to the <li> elements. [some part of it given below]
<ul class="ui-tabs-nav ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-all" role="tablist">
<li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-top ui-tabs-active ui-state-active" role="tab" tabindex="0" aria-controls="tabs-1" aria-labelledby="ui-id-1" aria-selected="true" aria-expanded="true">
<li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-top" role="tab" tabindex="-1" aria-controls="tabs-2" aria-labelledby="ui-id-2" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">
<li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-top" role="tab" tabindex="-1" aria-controls="tabs-3" aria-labelledby="ui-id-3" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">
</ul>
when I append some <li> elements in <ul> using the following jquery code:
$('#tabs ul').append($('<li><a href="#tabs-4">title 4</a></li>');
The list gets appended but the classes are not added to it, hence do not exhibit the tab functionality.
Please give some insight into it.
You also need to add the div with the tab id:
var num_tabs = $('div#tabs ul li.tab').length + 1;
$('div#tabs ul').append(
'<li class="tab"><a href="#tab-' + num_tabs + '">Section ' + num_tabs + '</a></li>');
$('div#tabs').append(
'<div id="tab-' + num_tabs + '"></div>');
Then try a refresh on tabs:
$("div#tabs").tabs("refresh");
