Url parameter flips to other tabbed panel

Jun 21, 2012 6:22 AM

Tags: #php #dreamweaver_cs5 #tabbed_panels

I have a url parameter that fills in form fields in an update record form to be edited. The URL parameter and form are in the same tabbed panel. But when the url is clicked it jumps to the default tabbed panel. The url parameter is linked to the form ID which is #updateRTM.

 

here is the url -

 

<li><a href="insertRTM.php?Property_id=<?php echo $row_rsSelectProperty['Property_id']; ?>#updateRTM"><?php echo $row_rsSelectProperty['property_name']; ?></a>

          </li>

 

I am not a programmer so rely on dreamweaver to perform most tasks

can anyone help?

    The problem I am now having is that the tabbed pannels are now collapsed when a url parameter is clicked and you have to re-select the tab. Do you know of a way to prevent this?

    Unfortunately this part of the site is not remote yet. Is there any way I can post parts of the code here? If so, what parts would you need?

    I have had a look at the markup and apart from the fact that #TabbedPanels1 is not required in the link, I do not see a problem. The resultant URL should look like

    insertRTM.php?Property_id=XX&tab=XX

    Personally, I would go a different way to show the data and that is to use SpryDataSet's. That way you do not have to refresh the page whereby there is no issue at all. Another advantage is that the data will only be retrieved once, saving band width.

     

    The idea is to read the data from the database, convert that to XML (or HTML if this is more convenient), create a SpryDataSet and use that data in your web page. A similar process is used here http://ncca.com.au/index.php?mod=events.

     

    This http://linecraft.com/spry_data_utils/index.php is a nifty tool that can help you.

    Hi AG.

     

    Firstly I would just like to thank you for your help to date. It is much appreciated.

     

    I'm a bit confused now as to what the best approach is for this task. I find it strange that there is this issue with using database driven forms in Tabbed panels seeing as it is suggested in certain tutorial books I have used. I will try your suggestion to use datasets and see how it works.

     

    I have attached the sql file just in case you would still like to see the current system working as there might be a solution to my problem!

     

    Regards

     

    Steve

    I still do not have the SQL file, but if you go the SpryDataSet way you will be pleasantly surprised.

    In lines 335-338, remove the highlighted because these are already included in $currentPage

    <li><a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_rsSelectProperty=%d%s", $currentPage, 0, $queryString_rsSelectProperty); ?>&amp;tab=1#TabbedPanels1">First</a> </li>

    <li><a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_rsSelectProperty=%d%s", $currentPage, max(0, $pageNum_rsSelectProperty - 1), $queryString_rsSelectProperty); ?>&amp;tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Previous</a></li>

    <li><a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_rsSelectProperty=%d%s", $currentPage, min($totalPages_rsSelectProperty, $pageNum_rsSelectProperty + 1), $queryString_rsSelectProperty); ?>&amp;tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Next</a></li>

    <li><a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_rsSelectProperty=%d%s", $currentPage, $totalPages_rsSelectProperty, $queryString_rsSelectProperty); ?>&amp;tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Last</a></li>

    The same goes for lines 280-283.

     

    The site looks and feels good!

     

    When you give me the OK I shall remove all files from my system.

    I've removed all instances of code as you suggested. And still not working properly. When moving accross to the update property tab and then navigate the list, It flips back to Tab1 ( insert property tab )

    In addition to the above, add the highlighted in lines 268-269

    <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0"><a href="<?php echo $currentPage ?>?tab=0" onclick="window.location=this.href;return false;">Insert Property</a></li>

    <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0"><a href="<?php echo $currentPage ?>?tab=1" onclick="window.location=this.href;return false;">Update Property</a></li>

    Gramps

     

    PS You also need to get rid of the anchor (#TabbedPanels1) to stop the page from jumping around

    Hmmm. Now when you click Update Property tab (tab1) it flips straight back to insert Property tab (tab 0)
