Replying to Links with anchor # do not work inside tabs

Thank you for finding the fix for that issue this will help a lot of people.

I have done some testing with the fix you gave us and it should be added into the plugin very soon.

We really appreciate your help and would like to send you a free t-shirt, please send me a PM with your address and shirt size.

Thanks again.

Well, the problem is clear, but it seems no one is able to program in jQuery. The "support" only seems to ask questions :)

My jQuery knowledge is very poor, but I think I found the problem - and the solution. As I said this is a general problem with all anchor-links inside tabber tabs, so we have to make sure, that the plugin script only refers to links with a "tabber achor".

So in tabber-widget/js/jquery.idTabs.min.js replace

var list=$("a[href*='#']",tabs)

with

var list=$("a[href*='#tab']",tabs)

Now all links to "normal" anchors work well and the tabber script only refers to tabber anchors.

tabber-widget/js/jquery.idTabs.min.js

Hi,

are you using a plugin for the recent comments? Rather than the standard WordPress widget?

Exact same problem. Just discovered this thread.

Nothing happens when clicking on an # anchor tag inside a tab, for any widget. That same link, outside a tab, works.

See this: <a  href="http://wgbhalumni.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://wgbhalumni.org/</a>

This is the best sidebar plugin, but this is also a significant problem.

Help!

Hello Sridhar,

it's definetly not a browser problem. It occures with every browser. It seems clear to me, that it is obviously a Tabber/jQuery-Problem. Just look at my previous posts and the hints I found for this. I'm no jQuery expert so I'm not able to figuere out, how the jQuery-code of Tabber must be changed to solve this issue, that the jQuery code of tabber does not cause actions to links inside the Tabber tabs.

Thanks for keeping this thread going. I had a look at Chris' excellent post. Not sure it addresses exactly the behavior we're talking about, since the issue occurs in any browser we use (not just IE).

Best,

I am not familiar with the background of what's being discussed in this thread..but by just looking at your post I think this link might be useful/applicable:

It's me again, asking when a programmer might take a look at this problem?

I can reproduce this issue with every installation and even when putting basic html with a link containing a # in a tabber widget.

The problem is clear: Links with an achor do not work inside a Tabber-area. The jQuery-Code used by Tabber responsible for the switch of the tabber-tabs does interfere with a "normal" link containing a #.

definitely appreciated, thanks!

All-

I have a suspicion that this is the same sort of issue that's preventing the pagination function within Featured Posts from working correctly inside a tabber. The pagination function seems to use the hash mark (#) as well in creating its links. Just thought the team might appreciate another clue.
