Hi all,

I have a strange problem with the dnnTabs() jQuery plugin.

Part of the ascx file ([ = <, ] = >):

[div id="TabsPanel" class="dnnForm"]
   [asp:BulletedList  ID="TabHeader" runat="server"
      CssClass="dnnAdminTabNav"
      DisplayMode="HyperLink" /]
   [!-- The rendered output of this looks like
      [ul class="dnnAdminTabNav"]
         [li][a href="#Tab1"]Tab 1[/a][/li]
         [li][a href="#Tab2"]Tab 2[/a][/li]
         [li][a href="#Tab3"]Tab 3[/a][/li]
      [/ul]
   --]
   [asp:Repeater ID="ContentRepeater" runat="server"]
      [!-- Here goes a web user control that renders the content, the output is something like
         [div id="#Tab1" class="dnnClear"]
            Content Tab 1
         [/div]
         [div id="#Tab2" class="dnnClear"]
            Content Tab 2
         [/div]
         [div id="#Tab3" class="dnnClear"]
            Content Tab 3
         [/div]
      --]
   [/asp:Repeater]
[/div]

In the OnPreRender event, I inject some Javascript that renders like this:

jQuery(function ($, sys) {
   function setUpTabs() {
      $("#TabsPanel").dnnTabs();
   }
   $(document).ready(function () {
      setUpTabs();
      Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function () {
         setTabs();
      });
   });
}(jQuery, window.Sys));

That works fine. Now I want to have the second tab activated, e.g. by a value from a query string parameter, or whatever. The rendered script shows as:

jQuery(function ($, sys) {
   function setUpTabs() {
      $("#TabsPanel").dnnTabs({ "active": 1 });
   }
   $(document).ready(function () {
      setUpTabs();
      Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function () {
         setTabs();
      });
   });
}(jQuery, window.Sys));

The tabs are working OK, but instead of Tab 2, there is always the last active tab activated, the same as if I don't pass that value. The value seems to come from a cookie named "dnnTabs-TabsPanel", and the passed value is simply overwritten by the cookie. But even if I remove the cookie, Tab 2 is not activated, but Tab 1 in this case.

Any ideas how to do that?

Happy DNNing!
