不要在标签点击事件上切换标签

Question

I want to call a function whenever user clicks on tab, and if that function returns false i want to stay on the same tab, else move to tab which was pressed by the user.

I am binding an event here on tab switch.

$(".selector").tabs();
$(".selector").bind("tabsactivate", function(event, ui) {
  alert('oldTab = ' + ui.oldTab.index());
  alert('newTab = ' + ui.newTab.index());
  if (some_condition)
    console.log("EQUAL");
  else {
    BootstrapDialog.confirm({
      title: 'WARNING',
      message: 'You have not saved the changes.Do you want to save it?.',
      type: BootstrapDialog.TYPE_WARNING,
      draggable: true,
      callback: function(result) {

        //if user presses ok, then i want to stay on the previous tab else move to the tab pressed 

        if (result) {
          //stay on the same tab

          $(".selector").tabs("option", "active", ui.oldTab.index());

        } else
        //moved to pressed tab
      }
    });
  }
}
});

But when i do this way, the problem is, because of this $( ".selector" ).tabs( "option", "active", index ); this bind event is triggered again.And this confirmation dialog box comes up again. I dont want this bind event to execute again, is there any other way to stay on the earlier tab or how to avoid this scenario?

Answer 1

$('.selector').on('click',function(){
    if (flag == false) {
        $(this).removeClass('active in') ;                 
        return false;
    }
})
