Question

Could any one help me on how to navigate from one jquery ui tab to another on the click event of a button in asp.net? In my project i have two jquery ui tabs in one i need to perform some database search based on the ex: empName, DoB etc and when the user clicks on the search button the result of search should be shown in a gridview which is placed on second tab but it is not working
i know how to navigate between jquery ui tabs using and html button but when i am using asp button it is not working i think it is because it has runat=”server”….. i am totally confused and stack any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

What you can do is that:

Suppose you have a this code in javascript to open the second tab:

 $('div').tab2();   // dummy javascript code

Then in the button click event you can do this:

 protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {

   // Code

    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(page, typeof(Page), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "$('div').tab2();", true);

 }
