jQuery dummy question

[Argos]

I have searched and searched the web, but couldn't find an answer. As a non-coder I don't know how to combine these two jquery calls:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs1").tabs({
});
});
$(function() {
$("#tabs2").tabs({
});
});
</script>

Can anyone help me out?

Hello!

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs*").tabs({
});
});
</script>

That could do it. The other would be setting a "for" loop ( for i=1, i++, ...).
Perhaps the better solution would be using in HTML/CSS a class "tabs" and not an id, then you won't have the problem with the different names - jQuery is more performant with classes then with IDs...

Thanks Michael, I chose to use a class instead of the 2 ID's. Works great!

That's wrong info, Michael.

Use ID as Selector whenever possible

Selecting DOM elements using the class attribute is simpler than ever using jQuery. Even though it is simple it should be avoided whenever possible as as selecting using ID is much faster
