how to close a tab from that tab page ???

[joydeepsen]

Hi,
Onclicking on a particular link i am openning a new page as a tab item.
Now that particular page has two buttons.

Save and Cancel.
On clicking the cancel button i want to close that page only.(the page that contains the button and opens as a tab item).
Hope my query is clear.


So, how to do that?

So are you trying to close a Tab in a Tab Panel by clicking on a Cancel button within the Tab or a Cancel button within the Tab Panel's parent page? I'm confused by the term 'page' and can figure out which one you are talking about.

hi MindCore,
You got me right.
I am trying to close a Tab in a Tab Panel by clicking on a Cancel button within that Tab only.
How to do that?


The new tab i am openning shows a aspx page inside that. So, i mentioned Page.

The way I've done this in the past was by creating a function in the parent page to close a tab by a given id. Then in the click handler of your cancel button on the tab page, you call this function by setting the handler to something like "parent.closeTab(tabId);" or "top.closeTab(tabId);". If I recall correctly, the parent prefix goes up one level and the top goes to the the very top level of the DOM.

Of course there may be an easier way, unfortunately I'm not expert when it comes to javascript.
