I am using metawidgetJs, Tabs are never support into the IE if it call from Iframe. I share basic sample code.
Here is basic html file if I open this file into the IE it's working fine, But if I call this file from Iframe into another file and open this new one file into IE browser tabs are destroy.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://metawidget.sourceforge.net/js/4.2/metawidget-core.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="http://metawidget.sourceforge.net/js/4.2/metawidget-jqueryui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var person = {
"myname":"no angular js",
"contact":'contact',
"dimensions": 'dimensions'
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<div id="metawidget"></div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var mw = new metawidget.Metawidget( document.getElementById( 'metawidget' ), {
inspector: new metawidget.inspector.CompositeInspector( [ new metawidget.inspector.PropertyTypeInspector(),
function( toInspect, type, names ) {
return {
properties: {
"myname":{
"title":"Name",
"section":"Personal Details",
"type":"string",
"required":"true",
"pattern":"^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$"
},
"contact":{
"title":"Contact",
"section":"Contact Information",
"type":"string",
"required":"true",
"pattern":"^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$"
},
"dimensions":{
"title":"Aggrigation Dimention",
"section":"Dim",
"type":"string",
"required":"true",
"pattern":"^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$"
}
}
};
} ] ),
layout: new metawidget.jqueryui.layout.TabLayoutDecorator(
new metawidget.layout.DivLayout( { numberOfColumns: 2 } ))
} );
mw.toInspect = person;
mw.buildWidgets();
</script>
</body>
And this is my another file. When I open this one by calling first file into this iframe, IE browser destroy the tabs
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="firstFile.html" width="500" height="500">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
I see 2 problems with your sample:
First Problem
On all browsers, the tabs are functional but hard to see. This is because there is no CSS styling. You have left out the stylesheet reference in your
<head>. I added:<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"/>And now tabs appear in both IFRAME and non-IFRAME versions, on browsers other than IE.
Second Problem
The IE-specific behaviour appears to be covered by this bug: https://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/8653
This is meant to be fixed, but it seems something Metawidget was doing was triggering it. I've tried a workaround here: https://github.com/metawidget/metawidget/commit/13f34e22ad71d82f30fb502bfb0a6246c47595a4.
