Determining Which Tab is Selected in XUL Dialog

[J Paul Richardson]

I've been experimenting with tabs in a XUL dialog. I have two tabs
(let's call them A & B) and want to perform an action based on which tab
is active (ie - which one I'm looking at). How do I determine which tab
is the active one?

I've tried working with selectedIndex, selectedItem and selectedTab but
can't seem to get anything beyond "undefined."

Refer to 'Reusing by other criteria' section. This might do the trick
for you.

Thanks for the lead. I checked that out and although it didn't work
for me, it did get me past my roadblock and on to the solution.
Here's the test code that worked out for me.

var tabs = document.getElementById("TabList");

if( tabs.selectedIndex == 0 ) {
alert("Tab A Selected");
} else {
alert("Tab B Selected");
}

Again, thanks for the push in the right direction.

Glad it worked for you
