So I'm designing the world's greatest user interface and I happened on the idea of making my numerous SQLFORMs easier to navigate by using jQuery UI tabs and the "load ajax" feature.
Conceptually, what I want to do should be simple. Load the form using =LOAD, but only when the tab is clicked on. When the user clicks on another tab, another SQLFORM is ajax-loaded, and so forth. Both jQuery UI and the web2py LOAD features work perfectly alone. I can even use the LOAD function with jQuery tabs as long as I don't try to use the "beforeLoad" event to load the form. I just can't figure out the javascript secret sauce to get them to play together. I'm really impressed by the power of the web2py LOAD function. The contributor really knew what he was doing! If I can just understand its underpinnings a little better I can use it for more than the simple case in the book. --
