You could also create an array variable outside of your tabs setup. Then add to that. Since it's external from the tabs code, every piece of JS would be able to recognize it.
<script> var arrProdID = []; // tabs code here </script> -----Original Message----- From: Will Tomlinson [mailto:w...@wtomlinson.com] Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 9:44 PM To: cf-talk Subject: jQuery Guru guidance needed.... I'm using jQuery Tabs to rebuild my ancient product admin. Trying to slicken it up a bit. As a product is added, I need the tab .cfm's, and the parent to pass around the prod ID variable to each other. The tabs I'm using: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7/Tabs I have a parent page that contains the tabs (disabling 2nd-5th tab until a product is added: tabs.cfm <script> $(document).ready(function() { $("#productAdmin").tabs({ disabled: [1, 2, 3, 4] }); }); </script> <div id="productAdmin"> <ul> <li><a href="product_add.cfm"><span>Product Info</span></a></li> <li><a href="productBuilder-Categories.cfm"><span>Categories</span></a></li> <li><a href="productBuilder-Skus.cfm"><span>SKUS</span></a></li> <li><a href="productBuilder-SuggestedProducts.cfm"><span>Suggested Products</span></a></li> <li><a href="productBuilder-prodImage.cfm"><span>Images</span></a></li> </ul> If someone is using the product info tab, and they add a product, how could I let the parent, tabs.cfm know, and enable the other tabs at that point.
