Keeping your tab place - cfform

[Newsgroup_User]

Is there a way to maintain the tab you are on after submitting a form that
returns to the same page and after the form reloads?

one way could be to pass the tab state in a hidden form field:

you would need to set a variable to the current tab state

<cfset tabname = "thetabid">


then add a hidden field to your form

<form>
...
<input type="hidden" name="tabtoload"
value="<cfoutput>#tabname#</cfoutput>">
</form>


then towards the top of the page, when it it reloaded, check to see that
a value is passed, and if so call the right tab. note, not sure how
you're doing the tabs so alter that part....

<cfparam name="form.tabtoload" default="">
<cfif LEN(form.tabtoload) GT 0>
<!--- call tab --->
<!--- insert appropriate code here.... --->
<cfoutput>#form.tabtoload#</cfoutput>
<cfif>


hope that helps. im sure there are other ways to do it too.....
