How can I disable a tab

What exactly do you mean by disable the tab? Like make it so that when you click it, nothing happens? How about:

$('#some-tab').bind('click', function(e) {
  return false;
});

I'm not sure what Malin means, but I'm trying to figure more control over an individual tab. I'm looking to create a custom home tab as a separate html element (outside of the ul) while still maintaining slide functionality. Currently, when I delete the homepage tab/list item, it disables the homepage as a tab. Or, when I apply some CSS to hide the tab/list item, it doesn't function well with my other other plugins.

Basically, I'm looking to "hide" a tab while still keeping a slide.

The most straight forward thing I could think of would be to add display: none styling to the specific li for the one you want to hide. Then, your external button could just have something like:

$('#some-button').click(function(e) {
  $('#tab-container').easytabs('select', '#some-panel');
});

Is that what you're currently trying? If so, how does it mess up the other plugins?

pcopu commented 11 years ago

Yeah, that was my thinking. The problem currently is that I have another carousel plugin (caroufredsel) pulling the tab ul and turning that into a responsive carousel. Having a hidden list item breaks the carousel.

I noticed that with caroufredsel, you're doing this:

$(".menu .tabs").carouFredSel()

Does something like this not work?

$(".menu .tabs:visible").carouFredSel({

Hmm, I did try that, nothing changed. I ended up keeping the home tab. I'd still be interested to know how it's done, but I guess CarouFredSel's documentation page/forum would be a better place to find that out. Thanks for the help all the same, much appreciated!
