Question

Here is the tutorial which i saw: http://papermashup.com/simple-jquery-tabs/
As you can see the “Tabs” and the “Content” belong to the same <div id="tabs">......</div>

So now i want to show the content in another div tag and not in <div id="tabs">......</div>

For ex.

The CURRENT VERSION :

<div id="tabs">
<ul>
  <li><a href="#tab-1">This is Tab 1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#tab-2">Tab Two</a></li>
  <li><a href="#tab-3">Tab Three</a></li>
  <li><a href="#tab-4">Tab Four</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-1">
  <h3>This is a really simple tabbed interface</h3>

Hope you understood my point ! Thanks !

Answer 1

Try changing your jQuery code to reflect the new div:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#MYNEWID div').hide();
$('#MYNEWID div:first').show();
$('#tabs ul li:first').addClass('active');

$('#tabs ul li a').click(function(){
$('#tabs ul li').removeClass('active');
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
var currentTab = $(this).attr('href');
$('#MYNEWID div').hide();
$(currentTab).show();
return false;
});
});
