Getting Started

jqxNavigationBar represents a jQuery widget that has header and content sections(like tabs). Click headers to expand or collapse the content. Optionally you can change the default toggle mode to double-click or mouseover.
Every UI widget from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project. The jqxNavigationBar widget requires the following files:

The next step is to create a DIV element within the body of the html document and add pairs of DIV elements for the header and content of each item.
The last step is to initialize the widget by adding the following script to the html document:
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxNavigationBar’s constructor.

$("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar(‘expandAt’, 1);
    

To get the result of a function(method) call, you need to pass the method name in the jqxNavigationBar’s constructor and parameters(if any).

var content = $("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar(‘getContentAt’, 0 );
    

To set a property(option), you need to pass the property name and value(s) in the jqxNavigationBar's constructor.

$("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar({ disabled: true });
    

To get a property(option), you need to pass the property name to the jqxNavigationBar's constructor.

var disabled = $("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar('disabled');
    

To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use basic jQuery syntax. Let’s suppose that you want to get the selected item when the user clicks. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to the ‘expandedItem’ event of jqxNavigationBar.

$("#jqxnavigationbar").on('expandedItem', function (event) {
    var index = event.item + 1;
    alert("Expanded: Header " + index);
});
        

Basic Sample

The result of the above code is:
