Handling browsers back button
Tabs demo 5 / 13 : Handling browsers back button
Here we use a history plugin to enable support for the browser's back and forward buttons. Click on the tabs and then use the history buttons (browser arrow buttons) to see it in action.

HTML coding
To enable history support we must assign unique anchor labels to the tabs. Here we just use the simple labels t1, t2, t3 and t4:
<ul id="flowtabs">
<li><a id="t1" href="#player_tab">The Player</a></li>
<li><a id="t2" href="#plugins_tab">Plugins</a></li>
<li><a id="t3" href="#streaming_tab">Streaming</a></li>
<li><a id="t4" href="#scripting_tab">Scripting</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- the panes are defined normally, no need for labels -->
<div class="panes">
<div> lorem ipsum ...</div>
<div> lorem ipsum ...</div>
<div> lorem ipsum ...</div>
</div>JavaScript coding
We setup things as usual with the additional history plugin which is simply chained after the tabs() call. You can configure multiple tabs on the same page in the same way.
$(function() {
$("#flowtabs").tabs("#flowpanes > div").history();
});
