Tab onclick

[Drew]

is it possible to add a client-side onclick event to just one tab? i see there is the tabstrip event "onclienttabselected" but that fires when every tab is clicked. i only want to execute a function for one tab. if this is the case, the only option i can see is firing the event on every tab click and then checking if it is the tab i want (is there a way to look up tabs client-side by index?), then processing accordingly. any guidance here would be helpful.

thanks,
drew

Hello Drew,

Please find below a sample code snippet that shows the needed approach.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientTabSelected(sender, eventArgs) {
    var tab = eventArgs.get_tab();
    if (tab.get_index() == "2") {
    alert("1");
    }
}
</script>

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" OnClientTabSelected="OnClientTabSelected">
<Tabs>
    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab1">
    </telerik:RadTab>
    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab2">
    </telerik:RadTab>
    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab3">
    </telerik:RadTab>
    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab4">
    </telerik:RadTab>
    <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab5">
    </telerik:RadTab>
</Tabs>
</telerik:RadTabStrip>
</form>

this will work, thank you. i feel it would be better to associate client-side events per-tab or at least to have this option available. is there any reason why you decided against this?
