ContentUrls array not updated after removing a tab

[Henry]

I have a tabstrip with multiple tabs, and each tab has its own contentUrl, so data is fetched using ajax.

I noticed that if you delete a tab, and reload the selected tab, it uses the old url from the removed tab. The tabstrip's contentUrls array still has the old values, that probably causes this.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a tabstrip with two tabs, with contentUrl set for both separately

2) Select the second tab

3) Remove the first tab (remove())

4) Reload the selected tab (select() and reload())

I suppose I need to manually update the contentUrls array?

Hello Henry,

I tried to reproduce the behavior in question, but to no avail. Here's a dojo example which follows the described scenario. The "Engine" tab is reloaded successfully after removing the first tab and continues to display the correct content. Could you modify the dojo example accordingly so that the issue is reproduced and link it back for further review?

Hi Ivan,

thanks for testing this. It turned out, that with our Kendo version (2016.3.1118) tabstrip.options.contentUrls didn't update when removing tabs. Please see slightly modified dojo that uses that version, and outputs the tabstrip to console: dojo

The solution for me was to get the tab's contentUrl from the link element instead. In my app, I need to modify the url before reloading the tab.

Hi Henry,

Thank you for the follow up, I am glad you found a solution. Indeed the TabStrip in version 2016.3.1118 keeps the contentUrls of removed tabs.
