Firefox tab issues

[thewoodsman]

Hi everyone,

I have a tab panel, and I'm having problems with Firefox updating its content.
The new content starts the same as the old content, but with a new form underneath.
In IE, using setUrl() and refresh(), I see the ajax loading animation, then the new content appears.

In FF however, I see the loading anim, but the content appears unchanged after this.
Using Firebugs DOM inspector, I can see that the content has been put into this tab, but it isn't visible: in fact it's greyed out in the firebug html view!

Any ideas? Do I have to explicitly tell the tab to change its height, or make something visible, something like that?

Any help appreciated, I'm stumped!

If you're dynamically loading something besides some simple html, for example additional panels, you'll need to call doLayout on the container.

Thanks for your idea...

2 problems tho:

1, I'm only loading simple HTML

2, Does doLayout exist in 1.x? I can't find it...

Basically, this code was written by someone else and I have to maintain it, and it's a bit hacky, so apologies for my lack of understanding!

Sorry, I thought this was a 2.0 post. You'll have to post an example of what you're doing.

Okay, it's a mix of JQ and Ext!!

var tabsLinks=$('#'+tab+'Tab a');
tabsLinks.click(function()
{
window[tab+'Tab'].setUrl(this.href);
window[tab+'Tab'].refresh();
window[tab+'Tab'].activate();
return false;
});

In IE, the tab panel is updated with the results of the HTTP request.

In fact, according to Firebug, FF is as well, but the DOM is greyed out, which means the new content isn't visible....
