Question

I have my jquery ajax tabs running great. However I having problems getting/setting the content of an “input” on my selected Tab when the tab load.

This is what I have so far:

    $("#tabs").tabs({
    load: function(event, ui) {
             //$("#myinput").text('test');
                 $("#myinput").val('test'); <-- works 
            }
    });

Answer 1

That’s because an input’s value is set with .val() not .text().

$("#tabs").tabs({
load: function(event, ui) {
         $("#myinput").val('test');
        }
});
