Jquery UI – tabs, are inactive tab content taken out the dom?

[matthisco]

HI folks,

Does the UI Tabs hide content in the DOM so the page loads quicker?

When I view my tabs page, the inactive content divs are removed in firebugs html window pane. Yet the page source shows all hidden and active content.

Many thanks

If you can see them in Firebug then the answer is NO.

As I recall the inactive tabs have display:none so they aren’t rendered on the page and have no dimensions.

I’m sure this is covered in the JQ/JQUI documentation.
