session help

[aaronxbond]

so i have these jquery tabs, and depending on what tab you click, there is a section of text that changes along with it

well when you leave the page and return, the default content is showing while the tab that you were on when you left the page is still selected.

i know it has to do with session to show the content and the tab that you were just on

how can i go about doing that?

 

<h4 style="margin-top:20px;line-height:20px;"><span class="gold" id="tabtitle">Tab 1.</span> <span id="tabdesc">This is the description of the first tab.</span></h4>

 

<ul id="indextabs" class="studenttabs" style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0px;">

<li class="selected"><a href="#" id="tabone" rel="tab1">Tab 1</a></li>

<li><a href="#" id="tabtwo" rel="tab2">Tab 2</a></li>

<li><a href="#" id="tabthree" rel="tab3">Tab 3</a></li>

<li><a href="#" id="tabfour" rel="tab4">Tab 4</a></li>

</ul>

 

 

$("#tabone").click(function () {

      $('#tabdesc').text('This is the description of the first tab.');

      $('#tabtitle').text('Tab 1.');

  });

 

  $("#tabtwo").click(function () {

      $('#tabdesc').text('This is the description of the second tab. ');

      $('#tabtitle').text('Tab 2.');

  });

 

$("#tabthree").click(function () {

      $('#tabdesc').text('This is the description of the third tab.');

      $('#tabtitle').text('Tab 3.');

  });

 

  $("#tabfour").click(function () {

      $('#tabdesc').text('This is the description of the fourth tab. ');

      $('#tabtitle').text('Tab 4.');

  });

I'd recommend using a cookie for this. That was you can extend the existing javascript to set a cookie when a tab is chosen. On return to the page you can check that cookie to set the visible content.
