Clicking/Detecting Disabled Tabs?

[JonHParticipant]

I’ve created a set of tabs, where the first tab contains person’s details, and the other tabs contain other information for the person.

When adding a new person to the database, I disable all but the first tab, until the record is saved.

This works as it should.

What I am trying to do, is capture a “click” on the disabled tabs so I can display a message indicating that the record needs to be saved first.

I tried adding an onclick event to my tab group, but it appears no click event is fired when the tab is disabled.

Any ideas on how I might handle this?

Thanks for your help.

Hello jon,

The tabclick event is not fired when you click on a disabled tab. Unfortunately, you also cannot subscribe to the jQuery click event of the tabs because when you add/remove/disable a tab, all tabs are re-rendered and the items selected by jQuery will no longer exist. Thus the requested functionality is not supported.
