  Hi
  I am adding tabs client-side. However, i do not want to create duplicate tabs.
  Is there a simple way of detecting if a tab already exists in the tabstrip ?
  
  I have tried to iterate through each tab, but can not figure out how to get text of tab... (see code below)
  

  var textValue;

  var index;

  var exists = false;

  $('#SampleTabStrip a').each(function () {

     textValue= $.data(this, 'tTabStrip');

     if (textValue== newTextValue) { exists = true; index = $(this).attr('text'); }

  })

  I pass newTextValue into function but my attributes dont seem to be correct for the matching process...
  
  Any ideas please?
  
  Thanks
  Mark

  Hi Mark,

   This 
  textValue= $.data(this, 'tTabStrip');
  
  will not get the text of the tab. You need to use the text() jQuery method to get the text content of a html element. Please change your code to this:
  
  

  $('#SampleTabStrip a').each(function () {

     textValue= $(this).text();
   // ...

  }
  

  
  Kind regards,
