I'm sure I'm missing something. I've just started to try to learn how to use tab panels. I've used the very basic example in the guide:

<apex:page id="thePage">
   <apex:tabPanel switchType="client" selectedTab="name2" id="theTabPanel">
      <apex:tab label="One" name="name1" id="tabOne">content for tab one</apex:tab>
      <apex:tab label="Two" name="name2" id="tabTwo">content for tab two</apex:tab>
   </apex:tabPanel>
</apex:page>

 I renders fine, but when the other tab is clicked on nothing happens. It won't change between tabs. Looking in the console there are 3 errors occuring.

• Object [object Object] has no method 'hasClassName'
• Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined
• Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

If it matters, this is in Chrome.

Thanks,

When a user 'Saves' a Contact (for example), whether it's new or just updated, I need to:

1. Do an external callout using one of the Contact field values as a lookup
2. Display the results of the callout, so the user can make a selection
3. Update the Contact based on the user's selection
4. Display the updated Contact

I have found two aproaches, but have reached a point in both that I need to resolve.

Trigger Based Method

• In the 'after' trigger pass the lookup string to a callback.
• Update the Contact with the selection

Issues

• How do you pass the lookup string or results to a visualforce page to display the lookup results?
• When the user makes the selection and the update has been done, how do I move back to the updated contact?

Override Base Method

I found a discussion here that seems to suggests using overriding & redirection to someone asking about 'Edit'. I think this could also be done with the 'Save' button.

Issue

• This is meant to be a deployable sollution, so I think that the override has to be set in code (I'm using the IDE) and not via Setup (or am I wrong?). I can't find out if this is possible or how to do it

Sorry for detailed question. Didn't want to just ask the wrong question (i.e. assume I know the best approach).

Thanks...

I need to update a property in an object with a value from a callout.

Example:

When the user creates a new Contact I want to do a lookup for the address details and update the address as needed.

Current tested theory:

- In the 'After Insert' trigger I pass the Contact.Id to a future method that does the callout.

- The future method updates the Contact

The issue is that the Contact form shows the contact BEFORE the web call was done.

I don't have the Id if I do this process in the 'Before Insert' trigger.

Any toughts or suggestions?

When I dowload the latest Force.com IDE for Mac OS, and I try to extract the .tgz file using Archive Utility, I get an error:

Unable to expand "force.com-ide-installer-macosx.tgz" into "Downloads". (Error 1 – Operation not permitted.)

Doing tar -zvzf force.com-ide-installer-macosx.tgz in the Terminal results in:

force.com-ide-installer-macosx/configuration/install-content.bin: (Empty error message)
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

What's up with that?
