Linking to sections inside tabs

Linking to sections inside tabs

Hey guys,

I am not sure if this is possible at the moment, and the testing ive done seems to offer odd results.

I have on one page a section of 4 tabs, inside these tabs are several sections of text that i have each given a unique anchor name.

What i am trying to do is link from another page to say the 4th block of content in tab 3...

the tabs are all working great, and if i link to content sections on the first tab it works great.. its when i want to link to the tabs that arent the first that it  gets tricky..

i have tried

  1. <a href="http://example.com#tab-3#content-4" ></a>
but this doesnt work at all

and when i use just

  1. a href="http://example.com#tab-3"></a>
While the third tab is selected i am pushed all the way to the bottom of the page. I assume this is because all the tabs are placed in list items and then jqueryui turns them into tabs.. in effect moving the tab content for number 3 from the bottom back up to the top of the tabs section..

if anyone knows how i could link to the 4th block of content on the 3rd tab i would be extremely greatful.


someone the solution might lie in $_post and $_get data.. but im not sure if thats really the case, and even then im not sure how to implement it with jqueryui



Thank you in advance
