I'm using DNN jQuery Tab Control (http://uxguide.dotnetnuke.com/UIPatterns/Tabs.aspx) in my module. I have 2 tabs on my module page. 1st one enabled and 2nd one is disabled while user come to the page. Once user fill up form in 1st tab and click on NEXT button, user moved to 2nd tab and make it to enabled.

Is it possible to play like this with DNN jQuery Tab Control???

Keval,

this should be possible, even if I am not sure what you mean by enabled and disabled. You can disable all the input controls from the second tab, and then do a postback that enables them, and disables the ones from the first tab.

To activate a specific tab when loading the page, you can use the following code:

      private void SetCurrentTab(string tabID)
      {
         // tabID = "0": First Tab
         //         "2": Second Tab
         string cookieName = String.Format("dnnTabs-{0}", MYTABS.ClientID);
         HttpCookie tabCookie = new HttpCookie(cookieName);
         tabCookie.HttpOnly = false;
         tabCookie.Path = "/";
         tabCookie.Value = tabID;
         Response.Cookies.Add(tabCookie);
      }

Replace MYTABS with the ID of the surrounding div from the ascx file, eg.

<div class="dnnForm" id="MYTABS" runat="server">
   <ul class="dnnAdminTabNav">
   etc.

Happy DNNing!

Thanks Michael, Sorry but I do not understand why we need cookie to enabled-disabled tabs.

 Here is my requirement, review this screen shot, you will get some idea what i need...

 In the screen shot, you see the 2 tabs "General", "Meta Tags". When my module loads first time on the browser, user can see the "General" tab enabled and "Meta tags" tab disabled. User can't access "Meta tags" tab without fill up all required fields on "General" tab and save required data into database.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

jQuery is a client side technology - it all happens with javascript at the browser.

The tab control uses a cookie to remember which tab it is displaying. So if you want to override that in your server side code you do it by sending a cookie.

Hi,

I could not have explained it in a better way than Richard.

And there is a little typo in my code over there, it should read "1" for the second tab, of course.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
