jQuery tabs in asp.net

Step 1 : The following is the HTML 

a) Tabs must be in either an ordered or unordered list
b) Each tab "title" must be inside of a list item and wrapped by an anchor element with an href attribute
c) Each tab panel may be any valid element but it must have an id which corresponds to the hash in the anchor of the associated tab. 

<div id="tabs" style="width: 400px">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tab1">Tab 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tab2">Tab 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tab3">Tab 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tab1">
        This is Tab 1 Content
    </div>
    <div id="tab2">
        This is Tab 2 Content
    </div>
    <div id="tab3">
        This is Tab 3 Content
    </div>
</div>

Step 2 : Invoke tabs() function on the container div

$('#tabs').tabs();

Steps to retrieve data from a database table and present it using jQuery accordian in an asp.net webforms application. We will use the country webservice that we worked with in the previous video session. 

We want to retrieve data from the following database table tblEmployee 


Add a WebForm to the project. Copy and paste the following code. Notice that we are using 2 repeater controls to produce the HTML that the jQuery tabs widget expects. 
 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
    CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Demo.WebForm1" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>
    <script src="jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <link href="jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#tabs').tabs({
                collapsible: true,
                active: 1,
                event: 'mouseover'
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div id="tabs" style="width: 600px">
            <ul>
                <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <li>
                            <a href="#C_<%#Eval("ID")%>"><%#Eval("Name") %> </a>
                        </li>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:Repeater>
            </ul>
            <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater2" runat="server">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <div id="C_<%#Eval("ID")%>">
                        <%#Eval("CountryDescription")%>
                    </div>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:Repeater>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
 
Copy and paste the following code in the code-behind file
 
using System;
namespace Demo
{
    public partial class WebForm4 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Services.CountryServiceSoapClient client = new
                Services.CountryServiceSoapClient();
            Services.Country[] countries = client.GetCountries();
 
            Repeater1.DataSource = countries;
            Repeater1.DataBind();
 
            Repeater2.DataSource = countries;
            Repeater2.DataBind();
        }
    }
}
