Tabs - Select\Show Event

in Using jQuery UI • 10 years ago

While working with the Tab widget, ive encounter some problem i would like to address.
I attached the Tab widget "select" event.
One of my links on the page have a method that invoke the Tab "select" method.
the problem is:

If the tab is not selected the "select" event will be invoked. but if it is already selected it won't invoke the event.
I think that when ever i use the method it should invoke the event.

What do u think ?

The select method is for, well, selecting tabs. It makes sense to me that it wouldn't perform the select callback if a tab wasn't actually "selected" If you have logic that is tucked away in the select callback that you need to fire regardless of whether the tab is changed, you should expose it separately and then invoke that.

The documentation says "Select a tab, as if it were clicked". For my understanding from your answer the "Select" event should be renamed to "Click", then like u say, u didnt actually clicked the tab. but using method "Select" i force the event by code
