Ok, I found the solution which utilizes the Dancer2::Plugin::Ajax module and is much cleaner.

The route is now

ajax '/p_details/:tab' => sub { return params->{tab}; };

I dropped the 2 javascript functions (partner_details and partner_tab) previously posted and am now using this function.

function partner_details(tab) {
    $.ajax({
        url: "/p_details/" + tab,
        success: function( data ) {
            $( "#folder" ).html( data );
        }
    });
};

That other js function was moved to the external js file to remove the clutter in the template file, which is now:

<script> init_folder_tabs(); </script>

<span id="top">
<h2>Partner Details</h2>
<h3>The partner details function is still in development and is not ye
+t ready to be used.</h3>
</span>

<ul id="tabs">
  <li><a href="" onclick="partner_details('general')">General</a></li>
  <li><a href="" onclick="partner_details('qualifier')">EDI Qualifier 
+/ ID</a></li>
  <li><a href="" onclick="partner_details('certificates')">Certificate
+s</a></li>
  <li><a href="" onclick="partner_details('contact')">Contact Informat
+ion</a></li>
  <li><a href="" onclick="partner_details('notes')">Notes</a></li>
</ul>

<div id="folder"></div>

So, now when I click on the "folder tab" link, it displays the tab name as the main content of the "folder". Now I just need to write the sub that queries the db and builds the table to be displayed.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
