Klaus ... I guess I still have questions about how this will work. I
understand how "one" event works (sortof), but since the tabs are
being added dynamically (ajax tabs), I don't have any tab id to be
able to select with. In theory I suppose that would work if all the
tabs were pre-existing with the page, but not in my case.
Perhaps if I describe the behavior I'm looking for, you (or someone)
can guide me in the right direction...
1. The user will select an item from a menu (a link) and upon
clicking it, a new tab will open with the requested page inside.
2. The user can open multiple tabs, each containing a different
document/page/script/ etc., but not multiples of the same item.
3. If the user selects an item from the menu that is already open,
the existing tab should become selected.
4. If the user closes a tab, the menu item will then need to create a
new tab if the item is selected again... and so on.
Does this make sense at all? It's typical application type behavior
and I'm really struggling to figure out how to make this happen.
pseudo:
function itemclick(var taburl) {
if (tab_already_open()) {
selecttab();
} else {
opentab(taburl);
}
}
Thank you for your help Klaus!
