I didn’t like the approach, but after a long search this is the only way it works. Thanks a lot!

Are you reloading the tab contents after all the changes are saved?

Set preventCache to true, and then call refresh() on the 3rd tab, should work…

never mind, it’s actually caused by some syntax error. However, I still have question here(which is a little off topic):
I have tab 1, tab 2, tab 3.
The user selects something in tab 1 and 2, then in tab 3, I’d like to see the changes. I saved the user selection successfully to mysql database. But I am having difficulty in displaying the new results in third tab. Thanks.

By “java” to you mean a scriptlet? Or something else?

Scriptlets shouldn’t matter at all, as Dijit is just making a http request from the browser, so as long as your somePage.jsp renders right on it’s own in your browser (i.e. point your browser to http://myhost.com/somePage.jsp and have the page display correctly, without server or browser errors or warnings) then it should work fine within Dijit.

Does your “somePage.jsp” is just html content or including java code? As soon as I include java code in my jsp page, the tab displays nothing. My conclusion is that href in content works only with html content. Am I wrong?

Rick,

the example of adding the tab back in location 0 was just an example. My actual code puts each tab back in the correct location it came from. Overall I dislike hiding tabs as I think it provides an inconsistent user interface, and would prefer to simple disable/grey out the unusable tabs, keeping the tab bar the same. However this is a requirement from the client, so….:)

I’m actually in the process of ripping out all the Dojo/Dojox/Dijit and replacing it with jQuery. So far it’s been a very pleasant change.
