Ajax in Tabs not passing data in 1.9. beta 1

[Justin Levene]

Passing data through Ajax in tabs doesn't work.

CODE:

$("#tabs").tabs({

cache: true, ajaxOptions: {

type : 'GET', data: "id=2", error: function( xhr, status, index, anchor ) {

$( anchor.hash ).html("ERROR");

}

}

});

What is the use case of this? The URL from the tab should be providing the data.

Above works in all versions of 1.8 but not 1.9

[Scott González]

That is not a use case.

Tabs: Set ajaxOptions in intial $.ajax() call. Fixes #8504 - Ajax in Tabs not passing data in 1.9. beta 1.

I'd still like to know what the use case is for this, but it's important to me to not have 1.9 break any code that works with 1.8, even though ajaxOptions is deprecated.

A possible work case is if you need to send post data. In my case I have a form that needs to be sent when a tab is changed. A workaround to send the data as GET in the url is not possible in my case. Even this ticket is marked as closed I think this is a bug and a fix is needed

beforeLoad: function(event, ui){
ui.ajaxSettings.data = form.serialize();
}

zap: Your comment doesn't describe a bug. You want to submit a form when a tab is changed, but I have no idea how that's related to this ticket, which is already fixed (and never existed in a stable release). If you have a different bug to report, please file a new ticket. If you have a feature request, please file a new ticket (but we won't be supporting form submission as a way to handle ajax tabs). If you have a question, please use the forums or StackOverflow.
