Posted on Sunday, March 6, 2011 How to preserve selected jQuery tab after submit Category APEX and jQuery Here is how you can preserve selected jQuery tab after submit. I have used hidden page item to hold selected tab index. First, you need create regions and setup jQuery tabs. Then create hidden page item: Display As: Hidden Source Used : Only when current value in session state is null Source Type: Static Assignment (value equals source attribute) Source value or expression: 0 Default value: 0 Default Value Type: Static Text with Session State Substitutions Then add to jQuery tabs option "selected" and event "select". Here is example JavaScript where PX_SELECTED_TAB is your hidden item name. <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $("#tabs").tabs({ selected:'&PX_SELECTED_TAB.', select:function(e,u){ var a=new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,"APPLICATION_PROCESS=DUMMY",&APP_PAGE_ID.) a.add("PX_SELECTED_TAB",u.index); var r=a.get(); } }); }); </script> See more info about jQuery tabs from jQuery UI Demos & Documentation.
