data-persist issue with Tab Content

5
Hi,
thanks for superb tab control.

I am showing tabs after user login. I have 5 tabs. if user clicks the 5th tab and logout but doesnt close the browser and when he login back he will see the 5th browser again because of data-persist='true'. I cannot reduce the use of data-persist='true'.
I need to show the first tab on every login, which I have done though PHP

But when user refreshes the page he gets the tab which was opened before logout because of data-persist='true'

is data-persist='true' writing something into the cookies. if yes how to clear them on logout

any help will be highly appreciated.

Then why not setting data-persist="false"?
Yes setting it true will write the cookies.

Please try running the following javascript to change the cookie value of current index to 0:

    function generateCookieKeyName () {
        var paths = window.location.pathname;
        if (paths.indexOf('/') != -1) paths = paths.split('/');
        var name = paths[paths.length - 1] || 'root';
        if (name.indexOf(".") != -1) name = name.substring(0, name.indexOf("."));
        if (name > 20) name = name.substring(name.length - 19);
        return name;
    };

document.cookie = "mi"+generateCookieKeyName() + "0=0; path=/";

Then please try Menucool McTabs as it has a built-in select function, e.g.
 tabbers[0].select(0, false);

I had the same problem but it's easy to fix.

Just remove "data-persist=true"

The tabs still work fine but it doesn't create a persistent cookie, so on refresh it goes back to first tab.

Thanks a lot Steve!
I had to know what is the purpose of using "data-persist=true".
After spending some important time I found this.
