I'm trying to use jQuery UI's .tabs() to obtain content via AJAX, but the default behavior is to grab the entire page's content. How would I obtain content from a specific #id and/or multiple #id's?
I have a feeling I will need to use the load: event (http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs#event-load), but I need an assist figuring this out.
Example:
The Page with the tabs that is getting and displaying the tabbed content. I have placed #content after the first #the_tabs link to retrieve in an attempt to obtain that specific region of the content, but the entire page is still loaded.
<div id="tabs">
<div id="tabs_display">
</div>
<ul id="the_tabs">
<li><a href="testcontent.html#content" title="tabs display"><span>1</span></a></li>
<li><a href="testcontent2.html" title="tabs display"><span>2</span></a></li>
<li><a href="testcontent.html" title="tabs display"><span>3</span></a></li>
<li><a href="testcontent2.html" title="tabs display"><span>4</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /#tabs -->
The page being retrieved by the previous markup:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Remote HTML Page Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
I want this content
</div>
<div id="other_stuff">
Not this content
</div>
</body>
</html>
the JS (for setup purposes):
$(document).ready(function(){
/* Tabs
--------------------*/
$(function() {
var $tabs = $('#tabs').tabs({
});
});
});
