Flash Content in ui.panel is reloaded in Google Chrome! The old bug is back!

[varex]

In previous versions, hide was through css (. Ui-tabs. Ui-tabs-hide). Now seems to be programmatically setting "display: none". Nothing against it, but in google chrome browser in Flash contents are reloaded, breaking an application upload for example. How to avoid this? (using Google translator)

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project! Please provide a complete reduced test case on jsFiddle to help us assess your ticket.

Additionally, be sure to test against the git version of both jQuery UI and jQuery to ensure the issue still exists. To get you started, use this boilerplate: ​http://jsfiddle.net/ZgAqH/ Open the link and click to "Fork" (in the top menu) to get started.

Here the example: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Uem2D/3/ The swf file will be on a server until you have a solution. The rest are absolute addresses of site ​http://jqueryui.com/tabs/

Interesting. Opera and WebKit based browsers will reload the contents and Firefox and IE will not. I'm not sure what jQuery UI can do about that though.

You said that the bug wasn't present in earlier versions but I see that same behavior in 1.8.24 - ​http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/a9H9s/. What version were you using before?

to be honest, I changed the css in previous versions:

of

. ui-tabs. ui-tabs-hide {display: none! important;}

for

. ui-tabs. ui-tabs-hide {position: absolute; left:-10000px;} (approximately line 488)

But this is not good when I switch focus text fields using the TAB key, the browser plays focus to other elements off screen

Thank you for your attention

Thanks dor contributing, but this is not something that we can fix. In your own CSS, you can use the same styles you were using before with an added important flag if you need this functionality. However, we're not going to change the core functionality to accomodate this especially considering its not a regression.
