Trying to use an IF statement to determine which tab was clicked, but I keep receiving a javaScript error, "Object cannot be converted to string"

    
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "function ClientTabSelected(sender, args) {" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "  var tab = args.get_tab();" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "//  if (tab.get_text() == 'New User') {" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "//    var oWnd = $find(" & RadWindow1.ClientID & ");" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "//    oWnd.setUrl('MyPage.aspx');" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "//    oWnd.show();" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "//  }" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "  alert(tab.get_text());" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "}" & vbCrLf

With the IF commented out, the name of the tab displays perfectly. With the IF in play, the system exception pops. Tried every variation of .toString, String( ), passing tab.get_text() into another variable first, and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Found the problem. The example script posted on the support site is missing apostrophes in the $find statement. Here's working code:

    
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "function ClientTabSelected(sender, args) {" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "  var tab = args.get_tab();" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "  if (tab.get_text() == 'New User') {" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "    var oWnd = $find('" & RadWindow1.ClientID & "');" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "    oWnd.show();" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "  }" & vbCrLf  
        
                    strPopUpScript = strPopUpScript & "}" & vbCrLf
