Ajax Tabs Content Script (v 2.0)

[jeffsalam]

hi;

i have been using Demo #3- All contents fetched via "IFRAME" , but when I click on the tab and it loads the content , I do no see the loading.gif image .

my var in ajaxtabs.js looks like :

var ddajaxtabssettings={}
ddajaxtabssettings.bustcachevar=1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
ddajaxtabssettings.loadstatustext="<img src='ajaxtabs/loading.gif' /> Requesting content..."

Any help would be appreciated.

tks...

The "loading" message only appears when a content is fetched via Ajax, and not IFRAME. With the later, all the script is doing is loading a page into it, similar to a browser loading a new page into a new window.

how can I do a content is fetched via Ajax, but with using using Demo #3 theme ?

thanks

You're not tied down to any theme when specifying whether the tab contents are fetched via Ajax or IFRAME. This is all explained on the script page already actually. So to modify the HTML of theme #3 to fetch its contents via Ajax, you would do something like:

<div id="pettabs" class="indentmenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="external1.htm" rel="#somecontainer" class="selected">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="external2.htm" rel="#somecontainer">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="external3.htm" rel="#somecontainer">Tab 3</a></li>
<li><a href="external4.htm" rel="#somecontainer">Tab 4</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: left" />
</div>

Where "somecontainer" is the ID of the DIV that will house the Ajax fetched content.

This is more of a CSS question then. It really depends on what you have in mind for the tabs' look. If you're styling the tab's background image (for both the "over" and "out" states), try playing around with a CSS menu that uses this technique, for example, this one. Otherwise, if your tabs themselves are created using images (not their background image), then you're using dealing with rollover graphic buttons.

thanks so much ddadmin for you help !

now that i got the script working , when the script calls an external page via ajax, some of the charecters ( like ™ or ®) look funny on the screen . the content of the external l file comes from database.

appreciate you help.

Is there a way to have the same loading message display in iframe (just like with Ajax), while the external page is loading?
Help much appreciated.

Davorelli, in the future, please start a new thread when asking your own question on a DD script. To your question, this has been answered before, basically no unfortunately: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...d.php?p=139733

Thanks ddadmin.
Sorry about cutting in, but I thought that I would be easier for you figure out what I'm asking if I just continue on an existing thread/topic.

Cheers,
