html

    <div data-tabs>
        <div data-buttons>
            <span>tab 1</span>
            <span>tab 2</span>

            ...
        </div>
        <div data-divs>
            <div>
                content for tab 1
            </div>
            <div>
                content for tab 2
            </div>
            ...
        </div>
    </div>  

 

javascript

    $('[data-tabs]').tabs();        

 

Api

Initialize and select specific tab on start:

    $('[data-tabs]').tabs({
        active: 2 // make active this tab on start (default: 0) 
    });

 

you can also check tab as a selected on start in html by adding 'active' class in one of two places:

    <div data-tabs>
        <div data-buttons>
            <span>tab 1</span>
            <span class="active">tab 2</span> <!-- here -->
            <a href="javascript:;">tab 3</a>
            <a href="javascript:;">tab 4</a>
            ...
        </div>
        <div data-divs>
            <div>
                content for tab 1
            </div>
            <div class="active">   <!-- or here -->
                content for tab 2
            </div>
            ...
        </div>
    </div>  

(activating by api has higher priority then in html and adding class 'active' in [data-buttons] has higher priority then adding in section [data-divs])
 

 

Change tab programmatically:

    $('[data-tabs]').tabs('active', 2); // active third tab

 

Destroy component - unbind all methods and clean up all context, (dom nodes stay as is), after that you can initialize widget on the same dom element again.

    $('[data-tabs]').tabs('destroy');

 

There is also available special selector to find all initialized tab components ... :

    $(':tabs').tabs('active', 1) // active second tab for all tab components

 

... or to check if dom element is already initialized as a tab component:

    var element = $('... some selector ...');
    if (element.is(':tabs')) {
        // do stuff
    }

 

events

    $('[data-tabs]')
        .on('tabs:change', function (e, i, tab, div, isFirst) {
            // better define .on() events before call .tabs(),
            // because .tabs() will have no opportunity to call this event 
            //    during initialization
            
            if (isFirst) { // isFirst -> is this a first click on tab?,
                div.find('.editor, .syntax').aceedit(); 
                  // initialize javascripts on content of tab
            }
            
            // e        - native event object
            // i        - index of current tab
            // tab      - jQuery element representing clicked tab
            // div      - jQuery element representing div with tab content
            // isFirst  - flag to determine if this is first show of 
            //            tab content, usially useful for initialize 
            //            javascript inside tab that can't be done 
            //            if content is display: none;
        })
        .tabs()
