I'm just not getting event delegation with jquery ui tabs, or at all!
I got the code for jquery ui tabs and loading the pages with ajax working perfectly. However I'm having trouble understanding event-delegation. I load 4 tabs with external content, depending on the tab which is opened. Inside those tabs I would like to attach the same widgets to the input buttons and links. So far my code looks like this
JS for rest of page already loaded
$("button, input:submit, a", ".create_button").button();
$("a.edit_button").button({
icons: {primary: 'ui-icon-pencil'}
});
$("a.delete_button").button({
icons: {primary: 'ui-icon-circle-close'}
});
$("a.active_button").button({
icons: {primary: 'ui-icon-lightbulb'}
});
JS For Tabs:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs({
ajaxOptions: {error: function(xhr, status, index, anchor)
{$(anchor.hash).html("Could not load");}},
selected: 0})
});
</script>
HTML
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="ajax_passes/member_id/9">Pass Information</a></li>
<li><a href="ajax_entries/member_id/9">Entries</a></li>
<li><a href="ajax_event/member_id/9">Event Administration</a></li>
<li><a href="ajax_profile/member_id/9">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
I've learned here on stack overflow that I have to attach a click event to my #tabs div with live(). Best guess anyway.
however I cannot find any examples that work for me and my limited understanding of event delegation.
Any help is appreciated. Rick
