I like your [AJAX] tabbed approach very much, but unfortunately it is incompatible with custom arranged subforums (vertically aligned) using this mod.

Obviously, the problem is javascript is being suppressed by the ajax tab view. Is there a way to work around this?

I have the tabs up for the forums & what not. But there is one that doesn't show up. I have the proper ID for it, but still no luck. Out of 6 different tabs, this is the only one that's not working.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

One other question; The current system 'Acquires Content' each time when visiting the forum homepage, regardless of whether you've visited another tab or not, which in turn takes some time to load. Is there a way to make it so the Home Page loads as it normally would, (when the hack isn't installed) and just acquire the content on the categories which aren't on the home page?

That's the best way I could word my problem. Anyone make heads or tales of it? Help appreciated :)

There is, but its not something that you probably would be interested in .. you can try it tho and see if it works for you... (using the iframe mode)

"an external page can also be fetched and displayed via the IFRAME element instead. This is useful for external pages that either contain JavaScript/ CSS code that doesn't run properly when fetched via Ajax"

This is what to do...

rel="#default|containerid|#iframe": For each tab link that should reveal content when clicked on, add a "rel" attribute inside its link tag with one of three possible values: "#default", id_of_container_div, or "#iframe". This in combination with the link's href attribute determines what external file to fetch, and how to display it. Most commonly you'll be using containerid, which corresponds to the ID of the container DIV on the page in which to load the Ajax fetched content (see Step 2 below). "#default" and "#iframe" on the other hand are both special keywords. "#default" causes the tab to show no external content but instead what's embedded directly inside the container DIV, while #iframe causes the tab to show its content inside an IFRAME tag instead of via Ajax.




And you are sure that the ID is a Category and not a Forum?

First, let me give props to the author of this mod, it is wonderful! Secondly, I have it installed on my forum and decided that I could use it on my home page as well. It works. My problem though, is that if the tab makes a call to a page that has data generated from javascript, the data won't display(while in the tab view). However, if you go directly to the page, outside of the ajax tab, then the data will display.

Obviously, the problem is javascript is being suppressed by the ajax tab view. Is there a way to work around this?

I have added two images, 1 shows the contents of the ajax tab view for my test file, the second image is the actual display when going directly to the test page.

Check your inbox, I sent the message. :)


I got a little lost in your explanation of how to implement the use of the iframe. Regardless of that, I don't see how an iframe will actually help with this problem. To explain this a little better, I have a custom vBulletin "powered" page as my home page. I have implemented the ajax tabs into that page. Currently, I can display content in the ajax container, from html, php, css, xml and even a few made up extensions, by direct linking of the tab to the external file. Pages with code that isn't javascript will display, but the javascript fails.
