How to create tabbed user interface in codeIgniter with jquery user interface?

Question

am using codeIgniter for developing a web application and for my user interface, I want to use jQuery-UI-Tabs. I am blocked on how to make my views appear on the respective tabs. Any help?

Answer 1

It depends on how you want to do this.

If you want to preload all types separately and have it there, then here's how:

In CodeIgniter:

$views['pageOne'] = $this->load->view('view_name', $data, true);
$views['pageTwo'] = $this->load->view('view_name2', $data, true);

in jQuery user interface tabs:

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tabs-1">Page 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-2">Page 2</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
        <?php echo $pageOne;?>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
        <?php echo $pageTwo;?>
    </div>

</div>

Another way would be Ajax .

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="link-to-controller">Page 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="link-to-controller">Page 2</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
