How do I return back to the previous active tab if I am moving back from another html page?
I am having 5 tabs and within content of each tab there are links to another set of html pages. For example I am having a page called 'school.html' and it has 5 tabs. In tab 2 content (it shows individual student details) I am having a link to "Add new student" to a new page named addNewStudent.html.
After adding a new student in addNewStudent.html, I need to automatically comeback to original page with tabs (window.location = 'school.html'). So how to make tab 2 active showing the tab 2 content (student details).
This can be done in two ways depends upon your usage..
1)if you use browser back in addNewStudent.html to go to school.html.Better to use cookie concept. For ex: when going to addNewStudent.html from school.html setcookie("tabchange","tab2") when coming back from addNewStudent.html to school.html(onload of school.html check whether the cookie exist or not,if exists depends upon cookie enable your tab);
2) if you use any button or link in addNewStudent.html to go to school.html.Better to use queryparams. for ex: pass tabchange queryparam for school.html to addNewStudent.html?tabchange=tab1 get that queryparam from addNewStudent.html and assign to link or button your as href="/school.html?tabchange=tab1" after clicking that button onload of school.html get the queryparam and enable the tab..
