Loading Child Documents into jQuery UI Tabs with Wayfinder in Evo 1.0.5
A historical guide for building tabbed interfaces by combining Wayfinder navigation with child-resource loading.
Tabbed interfaces were a popular way to split large documents into smaller child resources without abandoning one main page. This pattern used Wayfinder to build the tab navigation and jQuery UI Tabs to load the related child documents as the visible content layer.
What the approach solved
- it kept very large content sets easier to edit
- it turned child resources into structured tab content
- it allowed a single parent page to act like a more application-style interface
Why it belongs in the archive
This is a classic example of old Evo pragmatism: take documents, Wayfinder, and a JavaScript UI library, and combine them into a usable mini-application without rebuilding the whole site architecture.
Why this belongs in the timeline
Document trees plus JavaScript UI libraries were a common way to turn Evo into a small application shell. This pattern is a good example of that older approach.
