  • 0

I would like create a tabbed mobile page using jQuery Mobile. I have got the basics of creating tabs (For Example Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, Tab4) and having each tab load a new page of content. How would I go about using an anchor within a specific tab? So for example if someone wanted to bookmark a link that took them right to Tab4 Anchor1.

I am pretty new to JavaScript and jQuery.

Code below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0b3/jquery.mobile-1.0b3.min.css">
<!-- JavaScript HTML requirements -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0b3/jquery.mobile-1.0b3.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<div data-role="page" data-theme="d" id="home" data-id="nav">
  <header data-role="header" >
    <h1>TEST</h1>
    <div data-role="navbar" data-id="nav">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#home" data-icon="home" data-theme="d" class="ui-btn-active ui-state-persist" >Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#speakers" data-icon="star" data-theme="d">Speakers</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" data-icon="grid" data-theme="d">News</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </header>
  <section data-role="content"> Home </section>
  <footer data-role="footer" class="ui-bar"> <a href="" data-icon="gear" class="ui-btn-right">Buy Tickets</a> </footer>
</div>
<div data-role="page" data-theme="d" id="speakers">
  <header data-role="header" data-id="nav" >
    <h1>TEST</h1>
    <div data-role="navbar" >
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#home" data-icon="home" data-theme="d">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#speakers" data-icon="star" data-theme="d"
        class="ui-btn-active ui-state-persist">Speakers</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" data-icon="grid" data-theme="d">News</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </header>
  <section data-role="content">The name attribute specifies the name of an anchor.

The name <a href="#jib">attribute</a> is used to create a bookmark inside an HTML document.

Note: The upcoming HTML5 standard suggests using the id attribute instead of the name attribute for specifying the name of an anchor. Using the id attribute actually works also for HTML4 in all modern browsers.

Bookmarks are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader. <a name="jib"></a> Speakers </section>
  <footer data-role="footer" class="ui-bar"> <a href="" data-icon="gear" class="ui-btn-right">Buy Tickets</a> </footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    I think I understand but feel free to comment if I’m misunderstanding your question.

    I believe you’re misunderstanding how internal JQuery linking works. First thing is take a look at the JQuery Mobile page anatomy, especially at the “Multi-page template structure” in your case:
    http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/pages/page-anatomy.html

    Basically every “embedded in the middle of page” section of your page will need to be a stand alone div marked with the data-role="page" tag. Its ID is going to be what you’ll point an anchor to.

    So in order for your internal <a href="#jib"> to work you have to have a built in div with ID = “jib”

    UPDATED ANSWER AFTER COMMENTS

    What you’re looking for is $.mobile.silentScroll . You want to get your anchor link’s Y-position and then have the page scroll to it. There is a little gotcha though. You’ll need to add a little pause before the scroll happens because of the JQuery Mobile animations that happen on page transition.

    function loadJib()
{
  $.mobile.changePage('#jib',{transition:"slide"});

  var yPos = $('#mylink').get(0).offsetTop;

  setTimeout(function(){
    $.mobile.silentScroll(yPos);
  },800);

    Take a look how I did it ( .8 second delay ).:
