I am unaware of an *easy* way to write anything in js to accomplish my staff's request. However, here's the fix (Mark, if you think this could be of use to the community as you suggest above, please disseminate it as an enhancement, bug, whatever ...) which was remarkably easy, once I found the relevant code. FYI, Firebug does not appear to be of much use tracking down things like these.

Mark is right, your fix is a bad idea. Here is how to do it properly.

Robin - tnx for taking the time to reply. What value of "bad"? A simple, fully functional, easy, reversible, move (not rewrite) of a single line of code, is bad?

1) using firebug, determine the ID of the tabs bit, it turns out to be header_search.

By grepping header_search was how I eventually got to home_search.inc in the first place to modify the order of lines 32-35.

2) look up what this jquery ui-tabs thing is, which will take you to: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/ 3) poke around and see that the 'selected' option looks like the kind of thing that we might want. 3.5) play around with this in the firebug console to make sure we have everything right. 4) write the following JS into the intranetuserjs box: $(function() { $('#header_search').tabs({selected:2}); });

This does not appear to function - the focus remains fixed on the first tab - despite trying a copy/paste of your suggestion, and various combinations of: $('#header_search').tabs({selected:#catalog_search}); $('#header_search').tabs('select', '#catalog_search'); with and without single quotes and|or hash marks. I also tried, from the <http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/> you suggested (and which I had already visited): var $tabs = $('#header_search').tabs({ add: function(event, ui) { $tabs.tabs('select', '#catalog_search'); } }); Still no joy, except by re-ordering lines 32-35 in home_search.inc

5) go have a beer because that was pretty quick :)

Probably not -- and I'm pretty close to being teetotal; last time I had a glass of anything alcoholic was champagne at my wedding in 1963.

5.5) apologise to firebug because it was pretty useful after all,

Thank you Firebug, with my apologies for taking your name in vain ...

then consider that perhaps you had too many beers, and talking to bits of software is rarely constructive. Put your phone away so you don't drunk-dial someone.

Now that's a bit melodramatic, don't you think? Paul

Unfortunately it looks like that code only works in master, which uses an upgraded version of jQueryUI. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
