Load on demand... when I demand?

[Michael Dunbar]

Regarding your TabStrip and more specifically it’s load on demand feature which as you say:

 

“The request is performed only once. After that the content is rendered on the page and TabStrip shows/hides it without performing additional Ajax requests.”

 

The issue I have is that I want to get the content again every time the user clicks the tab.

 

I’ve coded round the problem by add an onSelect javascript function which uses ajax to get the content of the tab – the problem here is that the first time the tab is clicked the event handler goes and gets the data, then the tab strip goes and gets it.

 

Is there any way to make the tab strip get the data every time the tab is clicked?

Thanks,

Michael.

Hello Michael Dunbar,

The following onSelect handler should do what you requested:

function onSelect(e) {
    var $item = $(e.item),
        $content = $(e.contentElement);

    // if the item is dynamic (has ContentUrl) and has previously been fetched,
    // request it again
    if ($item.find('.t-link').data('ContentUrl') && !$content.is(':empty')) {
        $(this).data('tTabStrip').ajaxRequest($item, $content);
    }
}

All the best,
