ah…

Looks like it's a Firefox issue - hopefully it'll be fixed in 1.5.0.1.

Hey Rob:
Thanks for your email. From what I understand, its just that firefox and flash sometimes dont like each other (through javascript calls).

This is what i am trying to achieve :

Page 1

……
……

Javascript error happens in the function getChildElementsByClassName(..)
on this line:

if(childElements[i].className.search(pattern) != -1)

and the error on the Javascript console is: "Bad NPObject as Private Data"

From what I have researched its a bug thats been reported on (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309044) and it has been fixed. I think the patch comes out in 1.8 version of Firefox.

If you need more info, will be glad to provide.

Thanks once again for your time and patience.

Hey all,

Beautiful work. Thank you very much for your wonderful contribution.

But, I am having a problem with it.

The problem:

Iam inserting an tag for flash content, say in Tab 1 where there is tag, under "tab-content". If I click on other tabs, say Tab 2 or Tab 3, Firefox throws an error "Bad NPObject as Private Data" although in IE, it seems to work ok without any problems.

I appreciate any insights into this….

Thank you once again.

Good catch!

I'll fix that in an updated release. Thanks!

Nice work man! I'm using SilverOranges tab template for the moment in a project and went looking for a lightweight js tab script. This perfectly blends in and works great. :)

BTW, on line 54 of the CSS file I see .666 instead of #666 for the bordercolor of the active tab. Easy enough fix.
