页面重新加载后运行脚本

Question

I have two tabs. On the second I have a submit form. So, If I press the "send" button on the form at the second tab the page gets reloaded and I see the first tab instead of the second.

With this function I can switch the tabs:

$("#tab1").prop("checked", false);
$("#tab2").prop("checked", true);

And I use this to reload the page

location.reload(true);

But together it will not work:

location.reload(true);
    $("#tab1").prop("checked", false);
    $("#tab2").prop("checked", true);

Why? Whats my mistake? Can anybody help me?

self-answer:
I didn´t know that "location.reload(true);" resets all - my fail. Thx for the fast answers! "sessionStorage" will be a better way ...

Answer 1

If you're using $.tabs() , you need to make use of the active property to do that.

$("#tabs").tabs({ active: 2 });
