Finding top level page with nested tabstrip/multipage

[RichJ]

Hi all, 

I'm looking for some help regarding nested tabstrips and multipages/pageviews.

I have the following structure:
default.aspx
   Tabstrip (mainTabStrip) with dynamic tabs using contentURL.  e.g. Account.aspx
        Account.aspx holds another tabstrip (accountTabStrip) loading pages using contentURL  e.g. Stock.aspx, Orders.aspx
              Orders.aspx contains a radgrid with a list of orders. 
              When an order is clicked I want to open a new tab in mainTabStrip as opposed to the fixed tabstrip in Account.aspx (accountTabStrip)

My question is: How do obtain a refrence to mainTabStrip in default.aspx from pageviews below this?

I hope this is clear, but can provide more detailed info if required.

Cheers in advance for any suggestions.

Rich

Hello Vaticnz,

In order to get a reference to the RadTabStrip in the top level page you should define a JavaScript function as following:

function getTabStrip(){
    return $find("tabStripID");
}

Then in the nested iframe you should be able to access it using the following approach:

var tabStrip = window.top.getTabStrip()

All the best,

Thanks Dimitar,

After I posted my question and actually thought about it a bit more and did exactly as you suggested.

Cheers
