Question

Okay, here’s my problem.
I have a page where I use toggle to show/hide information about an article with a click on the name.
And I have another page that use jQuery UI Tabs to display the same page but with different parameter (to be exact 3 tabs: order by Rate, by Date and by Name).

So everything working fine until I start to switch tabs and try to toggle element in this other tabs:
– Sometimes everything works normal
– Sometimes nothing happend.
– Sometimes it toggle several times as if the script was loaded several times.

To be more precise here’s my code:

Page where I display tabs:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/projectsoul/CSS/design/jquery.ui.all.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/projectsoul/CSS/design/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.min.js">                       </script>

               ...
                 ...
                 ...
        <div id="content" class="content" class="ui-tabs">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="articles.php" ><span>By Date</span></a></li>
            <li><a href="articles.php?orderby=rate"><span>By Rate</span></a></li>
            <li><a href="articles.php?orderby=name"><span>By Name</span></a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

     .... 
     ....
     ....


        $( "#content" ).tabs({
        ajaxOptions: {
            error: function( xhr, status, index, anchor ) {
                $( anchor.hash ).html(
                    "Fail to load content."
                     );
            }
        }
    });

    $( "#content").tabs({
            fx: { height: 'toggle', opacity: 'toggle', duration: 'slow' }
        });

    $('#content').tabs({
        load: function(event, ui) {
            $(ui.panel).delegate('.intabs', 'click', function(event) {
                $(ui.panel).load(this.href);
                event.preventDefault();
            });
        }
    });

And now, here is the page i display in these tabs:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/projectsoul/CSS/design/jquery.ui.all.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/projectsoul/CSS/design/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/projectsoul/JS/jquery-ui-1.8.21.custom.min.js"></script>

 <?php
while($articles= $articles_data->fetch())
{?>

 <h2><a class="toggler" id="displayText<?php echo $articles["id"] ?>"><?php echo nl2br(htmlspecialchars($articles["name"])); ?></a></h2>

  ... 
  ...

  <div class="toggle" id="displayText<?php echo $articles["id"] ?>_content">
 // CONTENT                 
  </div>


   } 
   // END OF WHILE

    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
       $('.toggle').hide();
       $('.toggler').click( function() {
            var target = this.id + '_content';
            // Use ID-selectors to toggle a single element.
            $('#' + target).toggle();
            // Use class-selectors to toggle groups of elements.
            $('.' + target).toggle();
            $('.toggle.always').toggle();
        });
     });
     </script>

As I said, the toggling work when the second page is displayed alone. But in tabs and after switching it doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve searched but didn’t find anything that seems to be like that…
Any idea ?

I hope I made myself clear ^^”

Okay, problem resolved.

For those who have problem like that:

The problem mainly comes from the fact that content loads on each tabs and there is no distinct value in ID of toggled div between tabs.
I just changed :

    <div class="toggle" id="displayText<?php echo $articles["id"] ?>_content">

into something like that:

   <div class="toggle" id="displayText<?php echo $articles["id"] ?>_<?php echo $current_tab_id ?>_content">

(of course $current_tab_id content the id of the tabs displayed)
