Loading TabView from an External Data Source
The YUI TabView provides a built-in way to load external data.
Because our content depends on JavaScript, in this case we will build our TabView entirely from script. First create a container to insert our new TabView into. This can be any existing element on the page, including the <body>, but for this example, we will create a <div> called container:
Next we will create a TabView instance, omitting the element argument, which signals the constructor to create the TabView container:
Next we add tabs to our TabView, including the label and a dataSrcpointing to the content, setting the default selected tab to "active". To minimize the number of requests, we will set each cacheData for each Tab.
All that is left is to append our new TabView to our container:
This is a basic example of how to load content from an external source into a TabView widget.
