Hello all, I have the following problem:

I want to create a webpage in which I can use the JQuey tabs both by a side-bar and by the upper button-bar of the Jquery tabs itself. I am using the following code:

title here $(document).ready(function(){ $("#datepicker").datepicker(); }); $(document).ready(function() { $("#tabs").tabs(); }); $("select2").click(function() { // bind click event to link $("$tabs").tabs("select", 1); // switch to third tab return false; });

<body>
 <div id="container">
  <div id="row">
   <div id="leftsubcontainer"><div class="column-in">
    <h4>rev0.1</h4>
    <p>medewerkernaam</p>
    <br/>
    <div type="text" id="datepicker"></div>
    <br/><br/>
    <br/><br/>
    <p>log out</p>
    <button id="select2">kies derde</button>
    <br/><br/>
   </div></div>
   <div id="rightsubcontainer"><div class="column-in">
    <div id="tabs">
     <ul>
      <li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>
     </ul>
     <div id="tabs-1">
      <p>tekst1</p>
     </div>
     <div id="tabs-2">
      <p>tekst 2</p>
     </div>
     <div id="tabs-3">
      <p>tekst 3</p>
     </div>
    </div>


   </div></div>
  </div>
 </div>
</body>

The problem is, that, whenever I click on the button, the tabs are not changing (i.e. it does not select the right tab). Does anyone of you know what I have been doing wrong?

Hope to hear from you all,

kind regards, Jeroen

You have a few typos and issues with your selectors that's getting in the way. Repalce your javascript code with the following

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $tabs = $("#tabs").tabs();
    $("#select2").click(function() {
        // bind click event to link
        $tabs.tabs("select", 1); // switch to second tab
        return false;
    });
});

That should work fine.
