I want to use jquery ui tabs inside of an html module.

The code given on jquery site is:

<div id="tabs">
   <ul>
      <li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>
   </ul>
   <div id="tabs-1">
      <p>Tab 1 content</p>
   </div>
   <div id="tabs-2">
      <p>Tab 2 content</p>
   </div>
   <div id="tabs-3">
      <p>Tab 3 content</p>
   </div>
</div>.

I would really like to know how to call a module from another page to put inside a tab (a href).  This is a question I have wanted to know the answer to for some time as I have run into it for other things as well (pop-ups).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Struggling a little to understand what your trying to do.

Do you have the tabs working in a simple way or not?

What do you mean by "call another module from another page"?

Do you mean just to place and display a module, or possibly use an iFrame in the tabs?

With tabs in the past, I just created a skin file for specifically for the page with panes in the tab areas. Makes it flexible without getting special tab modules etc.  iFrames should work fine too.

Can also recommend jQuery Tools Tabs. work quite easily though the code you posted seems clear enough.

There may not be a way to grab a module from another page using just an <a href> I don't know.

But I'm thinking that if you can't do it that way you might be able to use the jquery code in say the Reports module, SGSV, OWS, etc. Where you could access the database and grab the module that way??

I know there is a way to do it because all the tabs modules, pop-up modules, rotator modules, and wrapper modules do it.  I just don't know how.

Sorry for the missed message I'll reply asap.

I'm only using 3 module (sets) now and only 1-3 skin objects too and the rest is just OWS.

I don't really know about grabbing modules myself... I would suggest just laying the tabs into a skin file and placing the modules in it - end result is the same unless you really need a lot of different ways or working more dynamically such as varying numbers of tabs on a single page.

Do the others grab modules placed on other pages, or are the modules placed within them?

Greg,

I would suggest just buying one of the tab modules if you can.  Live Tabs by mandeeps has a good reputation and will do what you want.
