Hi All,

I've just re-registered for the forum but I've been using BV right since 2004. I've signed up for BV.NEXT licenses for my two stores but as yet have not upgraded my stores to the latest version although I'm sure that I'll have the same problem to solve (regarding this post) when I do upgrade so it's fair to say this would be useful information for those on BVC 5.8 or higher.

I found a thread discussing this same subject but it's 4 years old and seems to relate to BVC2004 so I thought a fresh topic would be better.

I would like to implement a tabbed area on my product pages which will allow visitors to tab between 'Product Description', 'How to Use', 'Questions', 'Specification', 'Datasheets' etc. on a product's page. I'm hijacking the reviews functionality for questions, some product attribute fields for the datasheets and then including most of the tabbed information (description, how to use etc.) in the product description.

The obvious way (for me) to acheive the tabbed interface is using Javascript but I've tried using two different script sets (Jquery and a simpler version) and both implementations work perfectly until I select a different varient of the product from the drop-down list. I can tweak a bit of code here and there but I'm not a programmer and I'm struggling to find a fix for this. It must be something to do with a clash between the hyperlink/anchor and the way the varients are updating the page. Hopefuly for the more savvy board members the answer will be obvious.

I've set up a single product on my store which attemps to use the tabbed content. As you'll see, it all works great until you change the pack size to any other pack size. Thereafter, the tabs don't function correctly.

Thanks in advance for any input as I think this will make a good useability improvement to my store.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your prompt reply; my username was "surfscience". The idea of moving the content outside of the Anthem panel seems like a straightforward solution and I don't ever have different content for the main descriptions between varients so it would not affect me if the callback to update this content (following a varient change) was lost.

So, following your advice (let me know if I've potentially jeopardised anything else in so doing) I've simply changed

<anthem:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" AutoUpdateAfterCallBack="true"></anthem:Label>
to:
<anthem:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" AutoUpdateAfterCallBack="false"></anthem:Label>

I've given this a try and it seems to work perfectly (as can be seen by trying my original link again).

Thank you for this simple fix. I'm looking forward to upgrading my stores and benefitting from the many fixes and performance improvements you've made.

Cheers, Matt
