I want to use the JA Tabs plugin in category mode.

{jatabs type=”articles” catid=”35″ view=”introtext” position=”top” width=”420″ animType=”animMoveHor” }
{/jatabs}

When I don’t specify the height, plugins used in articles are not working.
When I do specify a height, then plugins used in articles do work.

Is there any trick or hack available to get plugins working without having to specify the height?

Thanks,
Rene

Hi Rene
I don’t quite get the point?

If the plugins work when a height is declared then declare a height?

In the tabs docs it states that the default height is set at 200 ( so if you don’t enter a value the height will be 200) if the plugins are failing its because they need a greater height declared which generally would vary according to plugin?

Looking at the folder mod_jatabs from the Opal QS I have installed locally to test the ja tabs function, I find in the helper.php file the height is set to auto

Whether this is the case with the standalone ja tabs or whatever template your using, I guess you’ll have to look for yourself at that file, meanwhile try setting (seeing if the system allows) a parameter of either auto or 100% figuring this would allow the height to dynamically change depending on requirements

Shouldn’t be too hard to test
Hope this assists you

I have the same problem, if i set height =”auto” or “100%” IE8 keeps on expanding the content box.
It works fine in firefox 3.5

If you have content of different lenghs then you need the height to be “auto” or you get some tabs with alot of white space (ie short articles)

IE playing me up again !!
