$( "#redditTabs" ).tabs(); $('#addNewSubreddit').button(); $('#tabList').on('click', '.ui-icon-close', function() { var tabPanelContainer = $(this).prev('a').attr('href'); $(this).parent('li').remove(); $(tabPanelContainer).remove(); $( "#redditTabs" ).tabs('refresh'); }); $('#redditTabs').on('click', '#addNewSubreddit', function() { myReddit.getJSONFromAPI('posts', $('#subredditName').val()); }); $('#redditTabs').on('click'...
