[Solved] Tabstrip resets to tab 1 when action taken in embedded grid (sort, filter, etc)

[Gene]

I have a tab strip with grid controls on each tab. If I use any of the grid controls like sort or filter, the page returns to tab 1. Is there any variable that can be passed back to the controller to indicate the current selected tab?

1) Use Ajax binding for the Grid
2)Play with some variables and the .SelectedIndex() server method of the tabstrip
3) Use the client API of the tabstrip - http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/tabstrip/clientsideapi

Hi Pechka ,

Would it be possible to provide an example using option 2 above (Play with some variables and the .SelectedIndex() server method of the tabstrip)

Thanks,
Gene

To be more specific, I can set the desired tab with .SelectedIndex(@ViewData["SelectedIndex"] as int).
The question is, how do I set the ViewData["SelectedIndex"] to contain the last selected tab?

I have resolved the issue with Javascript and cookies. The link which proviided direction for this is:

It was necessary to use Document.cookies instead of $.cookie (jQuery). For some reason, the jQuery version would not run. I suspect the result of a conflict between Telerik and jQuery.
Anyway, thank you for your assistance!
