Returning False Not Canceling Tab Select

[Jon (I.T. Agility Inc.)]

I am trying to provide a confrimation prompt that would allow a user a second affirmation before actually changing tabs.  Problem is it doesn't work, no matter what the user does, the tab is selected and the server event is fired.

    function ClientTabSelecting(sender, eventArgs)
    {
       var tabStrip = sender;
       var tab = eventArgs.Tab;
       return confirm("Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?");

    }

<

telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" Width="100%" runat="server" Skin="Hay" OnClientTabSelecting="ClientTabSelecting" multipageid="RadMultiPage1" AutoPostBack="false" PerTabScrolling="true" ScrollButtonsPosition="Middle" />

 protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnInit(e);
        RadTabStrip1.TabClick += new RadTabStripEventHandler(TabClicked);
    }

Hi ,

I suggest you edit the code by the following way:

function ClientTabSelecting(sender, eventArgs)
    {
       var tabStrip = sender;
       var tab = eventArgs.get_tab();
       eventArgs.set_cancel(confirm("Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?") )  ;

    }
