jQuery Forum

I know that others have done this but you have to do something to disable the each tab until the previous section is complete. Shouldn't be too hard.

I know but how do you disable a tab then enable it. I can't find an example of how to disable a tab. That is where I am stuck. Thanks

The tab is just a link element. If I were doing it I would probably start each tab with no href attribute. Then I would count and validate the form elements in the tab before it. When the number is correct I would add the href attribute to the next tab.

You mean without the <a href="#"></s> around the heading. That makes sense. I my case it is the previous tabs that need the links as a button will open the next one. How do add the href to the previous one though?

The first will be a default and should have its link around the heading in place. When the form elements on that page are complete you would enable the next tab and so on. I wish I had time to write an example to show you but I am rather tied up at the moment.

Don't worry I have done some more investigation and  I think I have sorted out how to do it now. I might shout for more help on the forum in a weeks time when I start the job but I think I should be ok. Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction.
