Tab Title change based on content [drop down value] change.

[pankyParticipant]

Hi

I have Tab control where I am adding Tabs dynamically [On Add New btn click]. I have tab content as <IFrame> witf src to ABCD.aspx page with query string paramters to load page data.

var cnt = '<div id="Content"' + pageIndex + '"><iframe id="iframe2" src="..//ABCD.aspx" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe></div>';

$('#jqxTabs').append($(cnt));

On my ABCD.aspx page I have dropdown, on selection change I wan to Set Title of current Tab to selected value of dropdown.

I have below on  OnClientSelectedIndexChanged event of dropdown, but it didn’t work.

$(‘#jqxTabs’).jqxTabs(‘setTitleAt’, i, item.get_text());

Thanks

Panky

Hello Panky,

It is not possible to call methods of elements in the parent page from the iframe.

Thanks Dimitar,

Looks like my question is similar as below, just I want to change Tab Title on selection change of my content drop-down or on save button click on my content page.

Hi Panky,

Just to add what Dimitar wrote. It will not be possible to change outer page’s Tab by selecting DropDown which is in IFrame because this is a security issue – you try to access a Document from another Document. If your DropDown is on the same Document as your Tab is, then there is no problem as you can just use the “setTitleAt” method of jqxTabs, but in the way you try to do it $(‘#jqxTabs’) will be Invalid selection as its from another document.

Hi

I did this as below.

On Selection changed in my IFrame page js function I called patent.SetTabTitle(newtitle)

and in Patent JS file in SetTabTitle(title) function I set New Title of Tab using SettitleAt method.
