I have a tab container, call it tbcSP. it has three panels, each with id's that run offIss, workIss and katIss.
Now, I use a link to go to the page where the tab container is kept, using a query string. There I have no issues. I can get the id of the panel from the link/query string (example: click the kitchen link on default.aspx and get a query string ../staff.aspx?id=katIss). I can get the katIss
Now, I've read and read and seen only examples of how to set an active tab using the index of the tabs. But how can I do it if I have the id of the tab?
Is there a way to make an array and find the index if the id is the same? or, and I've tried this, is there another way of saying: $find("tbcSP")._tabs[--what here--]._show()
Here is my script language so far:
<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad() {
var surl = unescape(window.location);
var con = surl.substr(surl.indexOf("id=")+3, surl.length);
findTab(con);
}
function findTab(con) {
alert(con);
if (con != "") {
$find("tbcSP")._tabs[0]._show();
}
}
</script>
That, as I say, gets me katIss or whichever link I clicked. But assuming I don't know the index, how do I set the active tab?
Thanks in advance
