Tabs Issue When URL Contains Un-escaped Spaces

[heironimus]

Affects: jQuery UI 1.9.2 (Versions 1.9.1 and before do not have this issue)

Browsers Affected: IE 8 (Windows XP SP3) and 9 (Windows 7 SP1) This is not a problem with Chrome or Firefox.

How to reproduce issue: Browse to a page containing a jQuery UI Tabs Widget using a URL that has more than one query string parameter. The first query string parameter should contain one or more un-escaped spaces (i.e. " " vs. "%20") [e.g. ​http://localhost/jQuery_UI_Tabs_Issue/1.9.2-tabs_issue.htm?arg1=one two three&arg2=four]. The jQuery UI Tabs Widget will show all tabs, regardless of the tab that is selected. Remove the un-escaped spaces from the URL will correct the issue [e.g. ​http://localhost/jQuery_UI_Tabs_Issue/1.9.2-tabs_issue.htm?arg1=one%20two%20three&arg2=four].

Removing the code change made in Fix #8777 seems to resolve the issue.

Hi heironimus, thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project. I was able to recreate your problem but it looks like it was fixed by ​this commit in master which is due in 1.10. Therefore, I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #8877.

If you find this is still an issue let us know and we can reinvestigate. You can use ​http://code.jquery.com/ui/jquery-ui-git.css and ​http://code.jquery.com/ui/jquery-ui-git.js to test against the latest code in the master branch.

Thanks.
