LI id's are gone

[muisParticipant]

Hi,

When I use the JQXTabs I name my LI’s so I can show and hide them.

<li id=”li_first”>First
<li id=”li_second”>Second

This worked until 4.1.2, but since I updated to 4.2.1 the ID’s are gone.

Hi muis,

We were not able to reproduce this issue with version 4.2.1. Here is the example we tested: https://www.jseditor.io/?key=jqxtabs-with-li-ids.

In javascript:

After jqxtabs call e.g.:

$(‘#li_first’).hide();

Doesnt work because the first li has been renamed by jqxtabs. That is new behavior.

Hi muis,

Your requirement works fine in the following example: https://www.jseditor.io/?key=jqxtabs-hide-tab-by-id.

I updated from 4.1.1 to 4.3.0 today and this exact behavior popped up immediately. Prior updating, I could reference tabs by the ID I gave them. After updating, attempting to reference tabs by the ID I gave them caused an exception in jqxcore at line 4218, column 25, with an invalid selector.

Upon further research, I’ve discovered a difference between the minified code and source code. The difference is a check to see if the ‘id’ attribute exists or not.

Hi Pfhoenix,

Please update to the latest version of jQWidgets (4.4.0) and any related issues should be gone.

As I wrote to your support e-mail address, version 4.4.0 suffers the same exact problem as what I described with 4.3.0.

Hi Pfhoenix,

We are currently unable to reproduce the issue, but we will continue testing and if we confirm the erroneous behaviour, we will create a work item on the matter.

When you test, please pay attention to the fact that I said the problem was with the source code you released, not the minified code. My project uses your source code when doing debugging/testing, which is how I found the problem.

[PfhoenixParticipant]

It occurred to me just now why you are unable to “reproduce the issue”. There are two issues, actually :

1. 4.3.0’s source code was inconsistent with the release, minified code, where the source code had the following bug :
2. jqxTab is renaming LI IDs without checking if they have an ID or not

You guys fixed #1 by taking the bugged source code and minifying it to be the release code. You propagated the bug instead of fixing it. Can you please address this properly by fixing the bug in both source and release code?

[DimitarParticipant]

Hi Pfhoenix,

Thank you for your feedback. Such issue should no longer occur in any release of the next version of jQWidgets.
