Clear default selected tab using tabstrip

[Jesse]

Hello,
I am using the code below to populate the header and footer on a page.

How to clear the first, default selected tab?

Thanks for your time and help.

<div id="example" data-role="view" data-layout="default">
</div>
     <div data-role="layout" data-id="default">
         <header data-role="header">
            <div data-role="navbar" style="background-color:\#1e4e6d;">
                <span data-role="view-title" style="color:\#ffffff;">Header</span>
            </div>
        </header>
        <footer data-role="footer">
            <div id="tabstrip" data-role="tabstrip">
                <a data-icon="e038-e"></a>
                <a data-icon="info"></a>
                <a data-icon="arrow-e"></a>
                <a data-icon="settings"></a>
                <a data-icon="contacts"></a>
            </div>
        </footer>

    </div>

Hi Jesse,


If you would like to deactivate the default tab you could use the deactivateTab method of the TabStrip API, which accepts the DOM element of the tab as a parameter.
