Accordion 'Active' property not change'ing

[margustiru]

Seems like accordion property 'Active' is not changing when accordion is changed (another item selected).

alert($("#accordion").accordion('option','active'));

returns always the active:index it was set initially! If nothing was set initially, it always returns null.

Code (from downloaded jQuery UI Example Page):

Accordion $("#accordion").accordion({ header: "h3", active:1, change: function(event, ui) { alert($("#accordion").accordion('option','active')); }}); Will return always 1

Accordion $("#accordion").accordion({ header: "h3", change: function(event, ui) { alert($("#accordion").accordion('option','active')); }}); Will return always null

I digged in ui.accordion and maybe corrected the bug by adding

o.active = this.headers.index(this.active[0]);

to line 271 in ui.accordion.js like that:

this.active = clickedIsActive ? $([]) : clicked; o.active = this.headers.index(this.active[0]); this._toggle(toShow, toHide, data, clickedIsActive, down);

hopefully it works...

Not sure if this is a valid issue: We handle all options as read-only. On the other hand, there should be a way to get the active panel, which is currently missing.

So this is fixed in trunk with milestone 1.8, nice.

but how do i get the current index of the current open accordion in 1.7.x? you dont maintain support for bugs in 1.7.x?!

I have the same question. Is it possible to fix this in the current release? Or should we use 1.8? Is it stable?

From what I've seen, it looks like it's fixed.  Hair Crimpers
