[Solved] Tab within a Tab

[Steve]

I mentioned this in general, but it's best here

I have a TabStrip ('Tab1')  it has a TabStrip inside the first tab

Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
        .Name("MissionSummaryTabs")
        .Items(items =>
        {
            items.Add().Text("Pilot Summary")
            .Content(() =>
                       {%>
                        <% Html.Telerik().TabStrip().Name("PilotSummaryTab")
                               .Items(i =>
                                        {
                                          i.Add()
                                            .Text("Tab1")
                                            .Content(() =>
                                                       {%>
                                                        <p>Content</p>
                                                       <%}).Selected(true);
                                          i.Add()
                                            .Text("Tab2")
                                            .Content(() =>
                                                       {%>
                                                   <p>Content</p>
                                                       <%});

                                        }).Render(); %>
                       <%}).Selected(true);

Notice that I have a 'selected' inside.

Since this is first tab, it loads fine.  But if I select another tab in the 'outer' tabstrip, then go back to tab1, it does not cause the child tabstrip 'select' to get called

(Additionally, having this tabstrip in a tabstrip is having issues with LoadContentFrom - its not making an ajax call)

What is the latest practical experience with nesting tabs within tabs?

From a user interface perspective, I don't think it makes much sense to go beyond two levels total, meaning just a tab within a tab. But I am interested in the possibility of a two-level nested Tabstrips that are then nested within the detailview of a grid.

Has anybody had any experience with this scenario? Should I avoid it for performance reasons or some other problems?

I would like to get any advice or comments from people who have recently tried to put a tabstrip inside another tab.  In my case, I have a strip that I dynamically (or programmatically) add tabs to.  The content inside each tab comes from a partial view.  On one of these tabs I would like to put another tabstrip, because I need to have multiple related child grids that users can do CRUD on.

I have successfully so far been able to add tabs dynamically (with each having a partial view) and can have grids in each partial view*.  I just want to make sure I not pushing MVC to hard here with adding another level of tabs with child grids.
