An unobtrusive way to add a close button to jQuery UI tabs.
Demo of the close button functionality at http://andrew.io/playpen/ui.tabs.closable/demo/
- Follow the instructions on the jQuery UI Tabs site and include the necessary jQuery and jQuery UI files. Then read through the overview at the jQuery UI Tabs site to get an idea of what is possible.
- Include the javascript file in your html file or js loader. eg: <script type="text/javascript" src="ui.tabs.closable.min.js"></script>
- add a
closableoption when instatiating the tabs: $('#tabs').tabs({closable: true}) - (optional) If you wish to receive a callback when the close button is
clicked you can add a
closableClickfunction to the tab options: $('#tabs').tabs({ closable: true, closableClick: function(event, ui) { // return true to allow the remove of the tab // return false to prevent the remove } });
That's it, about as unobtrusive as I could make it.
