How to have one form one several Twitter Bootstrap tabs?
-
What's wrong of having one <form>
that wraps everything up?
<form id="personal-data" class="form-horizontal" method="POST" action="#">
<div class="tabbable">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active">
<a href="#1" data-toggle="tab">Tab1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#2" data-toggle="tab">Tab2</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane" id="1">
...
</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="2">
<!-- form controls to be continued here -->
<p>Howdy, I'm in Section 2.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
are you submitting tab by tab or once on the last tab?
if one-by-one (for exemple, validation), simply use $.post
to send data back and forward on-the-fly (in other words, make ajax calls).
I just bumped into the same problem, if you want to submit once in the last tab, I assume there's a button somewhere to move beetwen tabs. By default clicking those buttons will trigger the POST request. To prevent this add following line to your button click funciton:
event.preventDefault();
