§ Better tabbed interface
Tabbed interface using get string to set active tab.
This tabbed interface shows how to use the get string in javascript to set the active tab. Instead of having the pages run javascript to set the active tab, javascript itself can check the get string.
function tabClick () {
var tabas=this.getElementsByTagName("a");
location.href=tabas[0].href;
}
function setActiveTab(tabnum) {
var tabsarray = document.getElementById("tablinks").getElementsByTagName("span");
for (var i=0; i<tabsarray.length; i++) {
tabsarray[i].className="";
}
tabsarray[tabnum].className="activetab";
}
function tabMouseover() {
if(this.className!="activetab")
this.className="highlighttab";
}
function tabMouseout() {
if(this.className!="activetab")
this.className="";
}
function addTabMouseEvents() {
var tabsdiv=document.getElementById("tablinks");
if(tabsdiv) {
var tabslist=tabsdiv.getElementsByTagName("span");
for(var i=0;i<tabslist.length;i++) {
tabslist[i].onmouseover=tabMouseover;
tabslist[i].onmouseout=tabMouseout;
tabslist[i].onclick=tabClick;
}
}
}
function getValue(getName) {
var getString = window.location.search.substring(1);
var getArray = getString.split("&");
var getNameValue;
for(var i=0;i<getArray.length;i++) {
getNameValue = getArray[i].split("=");
if(getNameValue[0]==getName)
return getNameValue[1];
}
return false;
}
function setTabFomGet() {
var getTab = getValue("tab");
if(getTab) {
setActiveTab(getTab);
}
else {
setActiveTab(0);
}
}
function makeDoubleDelegate(function1, function2) {
return function() {
if (function1)
function1();
if (function2)
function2();
}
}
function tabsInit() {
addTabMouseEvents();
setTabFomGet();
}
window.onload = makeDoubleDelegate(window.onload, tabsInit );
