Whoops that's wrong (though it gave the correct answer in my trivial test case).
My first answer would break if any pane contained other lists with <a> tags. This is more robust: $("#tabs>ul>li>a").eq(1).attr("href") // finds the href of the second tab. This could be made real easy if you added a mnemonic helper-class, say class="foo", to each <a> tag. Then it becomes $(".foo").eq(1).attr("href") // finds the href of the second tab. **--** Steve On Jan 5, 12:32 am, Steven Black <ste...@stevenblack.com> wrote: > Several ways, among them: > > $("#tabs").find("li>a").eq(1).attr("href") // finds the href of the > second tab. > > **--** Stve > > On Jan 4, 11:08 pm, Clayton Dukes <cdu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Is there a way I can get the href for a given tab index number? > > > <div id="tabs" class="ui-tabs" style="position: relative; top: 20px; > > left: 1px;"> > > <ul> > > <li><a href="#tab-Main">Main</a><span class="ui-icon > > ui-icon-close">Remove Tab</span></li> > > <li><a href="#tab-Graphs">Graphs</a><span class="ui-icon > > ui-icon-close">Remove Tab</span></li> > > <li><a href="#tab-Table">Table</a><span class="ui-icon > > ui-icon-close">Remove Tab</span></li> > > </ul> > > </div> > > <script type="text/javascript"> > > $('#tabs span.ui-icon-close').live('click', function() { > > var index = $('li',$tabs).index($(this).parent()); > > var tabName = ????????? <-- This is what I need > > $('#msgbox_br').jGrowl('Deleted tab ' + tabName); > > $(tabName).css("display","none"); > > $('a[href^=' + tabName + ']').parent().remove(); > > });}); > > > <script> > > > -- > > ______________________________________________________________ > > > Clayton Dukes > > ______________________________________________________________ > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
