How to get even on tab selection, and get the currently instead of previously selected tab?

Image

I'm using this snippet to bind on select event:







$("#myTabControl").tabs({

  select: function(event, ui){

    var selectedTabName = $("#myTabControl").find(".ui-tabs-selected").find("span").text();

    // Do stuff with the selected tab name.

  }

  ...

});







The problem is ... I'm getting the name of the tab that was previously selected, not the one that is currently being selected.





Any advice on how to get the latter?





Note - this question is either very similar or a dup ... but I'm not sure it is phrased well enough (I'm not even sure if it's a complete dup or not).

    The select event is fired when you click on a tab button. At that moment, the tab has not yet changed.

    You should use the show event:

    $(paneSelector).tabs({
    show: function(e, ui) {
    var selectedTabName = $(paneSelector).find(".ui-tabs-selected span").text();
    }
    });

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
