Ajaxed tabs

[nelsontimken]

Has anyone noticed that the borders surrounding the tabbed content often disappear when the content is placed on your site?

Example:

Im wondering why this happens.

I've tried your page in three different browsers and do not see any problem with borders. BTW, when starting a new question, please start a new thread.

Sorry about the thread.

The borders surrounding the perimeter of the tabbed content are not showing for me.

How can I duplicate/see this problem? What browser are you using? What type of computer?

I'm using Internet Explorer 7 on a Dell PC -


I see no borders around the tabs or the content on the page:

I wish I could attach a screen shot but I cant.

Until the official release of IE7, best to use v6. Once the official release is made (not the current beta) if the problem persists, there will be ways of dealing with it. Until then, it is silly to redesign for a beta browser, instead report it as a bug to the beta developers.

Most likely the beta is using a more standards compliant way of rendering your border that you may have already incorporated a workaround for IE6 that v7 is now erroneously following. Whatever the cause, until v7 is out of beta release, it is a bug in the beta release. And, if not due to the above reason, should be corrected by the developers and might be even if the above is the cause. Developers cannot correct for problems that they are unaware of so, in any case, it should be reported to MS.

That's right, Narfix. As I originaly stated:



With that approach, the script only needs to be loaded once and could even be hard coded (without its 'run command', jsinit() in your example, being executed) onto the 'top' page. An example of a poll is:

Sorry at that time I didn't get what you meant. Afterwards I did.

I prefer moving the load of the js in the loadpage but it's just a matter of personnal preference in the code. ( and since I don't have a common ID on all my loaded pages so testing for one would be tricky)

Thanks a lot for the help you provided !

You're welcome. No need to be sorry, there is so much to all of this and I don't think anyone gets it all the first time. And there are various ways to do most things, it is, as you say, a matter of preference, as long as the method you choose works. A variation on the poll that might be good for the situation you are talking about is to use the the content loading function of ajaxtabs itself to tell you when the content is loaded and then run your script, something like from ajaxtabs.js (additions red):

page_request.onreadystatechange=function(){
loadpage(page_request, containerid, url)

and:

function loadpage(page_request, containerid, url){
if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1)) {
document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML=page_request.responseText
if (url=='page.htm')
jsinit();
}
}

Where page.htm is the page with the content on it that we want to run the function jsinit() on. If there is more than one page, they could all be included through a check of a common fragment of their filename:

if (url.indexOf('pagenamefragment')>-1)

Say you have pagejs1.htm and pagejs2.htm, then the fragment could be pagejs.

Of course, this would have to somewhat customized to a particular set of pages and a particular function to run.

I have a content page that requires a javascript and stylesheet that doesn't load properly. It also requires the following added to the <body> tag
<body onload="visibilitytoggle()">. I've added this to the parent page. I then added the "rev" attribute to the as follows:
<li><a href="../topics/FAQ_Tmplt.html" rel="ajaxcontentarea" rev=../css/hotspot.css, ../js/hotspot.js">FAQ</a></li>.

Any ideas?

Thanks
