Question

Here's my code , I would like to basically have upper parents tabs , but once you click on a tab , there will be sub-tabs in the clicked tabs so that you can view different contents of the different tabs within the parent tab .. When I click on the different parent tabs , they show , but when I click on the subtabs , the subtabs menu dissapear and I don't see anything .. can anyone tell me where I went wrong ?

Solution

The problem is on the line

$('#tabs ul li a').click(function(){

which targets both parent and child tabs, instead of only parent ones. When the click on child tab occurs, fadeOut is done for all #tabs > div elements, effectively hiding all parent tabs with all their content.

Luckily fix seems to be pretty easy:

$('#tabs > ul li a').click(function(){

Here is the working fiddle.
