Forum:Tabber issues.

When I checked in on the Mega Man Wiki Tuesday morning, every tabber or last tabber on a page (if there is more than one set) now have extra tabs simply labeled 1, 2, 3, etc. They pop up about a second after everything else on the page (including the tabs that should be there) have loaded.

Here are pages with the issue:
 * A page with a single tabber in use.
 * A page with multiple tabbers.

This just suddenly happened and I am at a loss of what the problem could be. No changes have been made to tabbers css or javascript. -- Udana 01:32, March 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * They look fine. At least right now. --


 * I really dislike tabber, but they seemed to go away when created with the suggested syntax on the help pages... the only downside is no in-line CSS. Try converting it to the syntax here on a small scale page first. See here for a small set up. You'd have to add the CSS to common.css instead of in-line, but it should work.

 * The tabber we've been using is the original from BarelyFitz Designs. I liked the flexibility of it, which is why I started using it about two years ago instead of wikia's version. After doing some troubleshooting on my personal sandbox wiki, it seems that for whatever reason, the original tabber's javascript started conflicting with wikia's; because when I removed the original tabber js the extra tabs went away. Guess I've got a lot of converting to do..., I don't have the knowledge to tweak javascript.


 * Also, your example page is empty... But, I've worked out how to customize the css. Thanks for your help and looking into it. --Udana 05:53, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it seems I had the wrong link (it's fixed now). The problem with using the original is that it wasn't written for Wikia. Anything that Wikia changes can easily conflict with something written for Wikipedia. Tweaking the JS is possible, but often it is better to work it out without tweaking. Let me know if you have any other issues. I may be able to help. Rappy 05:57, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm having the same issue. Can you clarify what you had to change to get it to work? If it works at all, because the pages you linked above still have the problem. -- 06:36, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * What wiki? Mine seem to be working fine so it shouldn't be an issue with the Tabber coding and Wikia's coding. Rappy 06:37, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Have I missed something? The first time I looked at Udana's pages I saw perfectly working tabbers. Now they're gone. Is this problem solved ??? --

The tabber was adding extra tabs above the tabs that should be there (duplicating them). Rappy 06:53, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

IcecreamKitten if you have any tabber javascript in your wiki's Common.js page you need to remove it. I haven't done this on the Mega Man Wiki yet, because removing the js will break tabbers across pages not using Wikia's tabber syntax as seen on the Help Wiki page, and I would rather leave it functioning and a little weird until I've gotten things figured out, than just not working at all.

Pecoes the problem doesn't always show at first; its a little strange. When I checked Rappy's example page the problem was present even though Wikia's syntax was being used. But, when I opened the page in the editor and exited back out the extra tabs were no longer there.

This is the test page from the sandbox wiki I'm using. Everything is working perfectly from what I see, except for the third tab in the first example. Wikia's tabber seems to have issues with Float alignment. -- Udana 15:27, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * The first tab should work now. The third tab of the first tabber, I mean :) --


 * That's a great solution! Thanks:D --Udana 17:49, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
