Getting Started

jqxRibbon represents a jQuery widget which can be used as a tabbed toolbar or mega menu.
Every UI widget from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project. The jqxRibbon widget requires the following files:

The next step is to create a 'DIV' element within the body of the html document and add a 'UL' with 'LI' elements for each of the items (tabs) and 'DIV' elements for the items' content sections. The number of 'LI' elements must match the number of 'DIV' elements.
The last step is to initialize the widget by adding the following script to the html document:
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxRibbon’s constructor.

$("#jqxRibbon").jqxRibbon("selectAt", 1);
    

To get the result of a function(method) call, you need to pass the method name in the jqxRibbon’s constructor and parameters(if any).

var selectedIndex = $("#jqxRibbon").jqxRibbon("val");
    

To set a property(option), you need to pass the property name and value(s) in the jqxRibbon's constructor.

$("#jqxRibbon").jqxRibbon({ position: "left" });
    

To get a property(option), you need to pass the property name to the jqxRibbon's constructor.

var height = $("#jqxRibbon").jqxRibbon("height");
    

To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use basic jQuery syntax. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to the "change" event of jqxRibbon.

// bind to change event.
$("#jqxRibbon").on("change", function (event) {
    alert("Selection changed");
});
