Disable tab on client side

[kalomo]

Hi all,

is it possible to disable tab on client side?

I tried something like that, but it doesn't work.

tabDetails.setOntableave("__$('"+tabBar.getId()+"').component.setDisabled('"+tabDetails.getId()+"',true);");

Best regards

I don't see a way to do this. Active and inactive tabs are rendered differently. (different HTML, JS and CSS). Also doing something like that goes against the component based approach, as it creates different state of UI in the browser than in the application.
I think you're better off keying the disabled property of the tab against some boolean bean property. Then a user action (via AJAX) can toggle that value and have it re-render the tab or tab panel.

Thanks,

Piotr

hi,
thanx for your answer.

Actually i do it the ajax way and everything works fine. But i thought i could save that ajax request becaue i found these lines in the "js-api additions" document.

tabPanel, togglePanel
setCurrent(id of the tab or name of the toggle facet)
getCurrent()
getPanelsNames

TAB ONLY
setDisabled(tab name, bool)

So maybe it is still possible to do it on client side?

Hi,

There's no such public API: http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_3_3_X/en/devguide/html/rich_tabPanel.html so it's still not possible.

Hi,

I have a similiar problem. I am trying to make a tab enable, so I am rendering tabPanel. I want to render only disabled tab. Is it possible?
