Question

I have a webpage which has three tabs, and depending on which tab is clicked, the appropriate content is visible.
This showing/hiding of the content on clicking of tabs is handled by Javascript.

My issue is, if I am viewing the third tab and then refresh the page, the page does not refresh to the third tab’s contents being visible but instead, back to the first tab’s contents.

Is there any way, when the javascript executes, for me to add a GET parameter to the URL, so on page load my PHP script can check for the GET parameter and display the correct content?

Answer 1

Addtab id to the URL as an anchor when tab is clicked, e.g. http://www.mysite.com/page.html#tabId

Then when page loads you check for presence of tab id in url and activate required tab
