Questions regarding usage with bootstrap tabs #71

Hi,

I've just chosen to use your jquery.AreYouSure plugin. I was wondering if it is possible to make it the notification window appearing, when I try to switch through the bootstrap built in tabs, e.g. when I click on particular tab.

Thanks in advance,

Should be able to do something like this --

$('.tab').click(function (event) { if (confirm('Are you sure you want to change tabs?')) { $.ajax({ url: 'myUrl', type: "POST", data: { // data stuff here }, success: function () { // does some stuff here... } }); } });

Yes. This is possible. If you ave AreYouSure attached to a form, you can check it's "dirty state" any time by simply looking for a class "dirty" on a form. For example, add some code like this on the tabs' click function as suggested by @austra

 if ($('#my-form').hasClass('dirty')) {
     // Show confirm dialog (e.g. a Bootstrap version so it looks nice)
 }

AreYouSure will do all your form watching and state management, as well as trap browser close events, etc. Your code will just be for the on-page tab navigation.
