tab change detection

[Timo]

In an edit form, there are some tabs. When the form loads, I run some PHP procedures to dynamically load some content. This loading should only happen, when a certain tab is selected.
To put it differently, I need to detect when another tab in an edit form is selected so that I can then run some JavaScript code. How to detect a tab change, is there an event?
I read similar questions but there has not been an answer.

Timo,

I hope this helps...

Code: Select all

$('.nuTabSelected')[0].id

How does this detect when another tab is selected? This retrieves just the id of the selected tab, doesn't it?

Code: Select all

$('.nuTabSelected')[0].id

I'm looking for an event. Thank you.

Timo,

There isn't an event for that.

You need to create your own.

Code: Select all

$( ".nuTab" ).click(function() {
  alert( "Handler for .click() called." );
});
