Access TabStrip Object

[BALA MUKUND]

Hello,

I have a main window which holds the TabStrip. Within this window I have an IFRAME. How can I access the TabStrip object from within the page of the IFRAME.

Generally, to access an object in the parent I would do something like

window.parent.document.getElementById(...)

I want to get the ClientID of the TabStrip from the IFRAME so that I can enable disable tabs based on user selection from within the IFRAME page.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Bala

Hello BALA MUKUND,

You can use the following code:

var tabStrip = $get("frame1").contentWindow.$find("RadTabStrip1");

where "frame1" is the ID of your iframe and "RadTabStrip1" is the tabstrip's id.

I hope this helps,

Hello,

The code snippet you have provided is has functions such as

$get
$find

Maybe I am a little off here - I have never used them in JavaScript and I do get errors when I use them. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Could someone please help me on those questions?

Thanks

Hello BALA MUKUND,

Are you using RadTabStrip for ASP.NET and not the AJAX version?

In case this is true, you can use the following code:

document.getElementById("frame1").contentWindow.RadTabStrip1;

where "frame1" is the ID of your iframe and RadTabStrip1 is the tabstrip's id.

Best wishes,

Thanks! I don't use Rad Controls for AJAX. I guess that is why I was a little confused.

Your answer helps clarify that. I was able to work this.

Thanks once again.
