This article covers usage of JHtmlTabs in your Joomla! component for Joomla! versions 1.6 and greater. If you are using Joomla! 1.5, see How_to_use_the_JPane_classes_in_a_component.
Options for JHtmlTabs[edit]
onActive: A callback function when a tab is activated with two params. 'title' is the tab itself, and 'description' is the tab content.
onBackground: A callback function when a tab is backgrounded
startOffset: The default tab to start with (zero based index).
useCookie: Whether or not to use cookies to store tab active state. (true | false)
Example[edit]
$options = array(
'onActive' => 'function(title, description){
description.setStyle("display", "none");
title.addClass("open").removeClass("closed");
}',
'onBackground' => 'function(title, description){
description.setStyle("display", "none");
title.addClass("closed").removeClass("open");
}',
'useCookie' => 'true', // note the quotes around true, since it must be a string.
);
echo JHtml::_('tabs.start', 'tab_group_id', $options);
echo JHtml::_('tabs.panel', JText::_('PANEL_1_TITLE'), 'panel_1_id');
echo 'Panel 1 content can go here.';
echo JHtml::_('tabs.panel', JText::_('PANEL_2_TITLE'), 'panel_2_id');
echo 'Panel 2 content can go here.';
echo JHtml::_('tabs.end');
