I’ve tried the other examples. The following script creates a named cookie. Wow. But the value in the cookie (index of tab) is always undefined. What’s wrong.

I habe jquery 1.71 and tab 3.0

Nick: Fine, very short. But the name of the cookie is ui-tabs%5Bob0ject%20Object%5D for all tabs in the same domain. I have about 15 tabs. There must be an easy way to create one cookie per tab with the name of the selector.

hallelujah … I’ve spent too much time on the named cookie thing too ;-) I’m a jQuery evangelist whenever I can but the documentation on how to use custom named cookies (instead of ui-tabs-something) is not sufficient if you ask my opinion ;-) . This snippet is exactly what I needed … thanks guys.

what is that ‘something’-integer in “ui-tabs-something” anyway … it comes from $.data(this.list[0]) but who/where/what is that set ??

wouldn’t it be nice if we could just ‘set’ the cookie name to be used “out of the box” (and if we develoeprs are lazy or not in need for flexibility the plugin can use the default ui-tabs-whatever)

Just to let you know this is now built into the current release for tabs. To use all I had to do was:

$(‘#example > ul’).tabs({cookie: {expires: 7}})

Hope this helps

Dave, Alien Y: thanks… I’m going to try your snippets as soon as possible and perhaps that could lead me to release an updated version of my code.

I rewrite for ui Tab3.0 + jQuery 1.2.6

var tab_cookie_id = parseInt($.cookie(“the_tab_cookie”)) || 0;

$(“#container-1 > ul”).tabs({
selected: tab_cookie_id,
select: function(e, ui) { if (ui.index == 0 && tab1_use_ == 1) {/* do some thing */}
},
show: function(e, ui) { var tab_id = ui.index; $.cookie(“the_tab_cookie”, tab_id, { expires: 30 }); }
});
