Question

I have a repeater which displays and data bind the source of tab links. Here is the code:

protected void rptTab_ItemBound(Object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        Item i = e.Item.DataItem as Item;
        Link hlTabLink = e.Item.FindControl("hlTabLink") as Link;
        hlTabLink.Target = Sitecore.Links.LinkManager.GetItemUrl(i);
        hlTabLink.DataSource = i.Paths.FullPath;
        hlTabLink.Field = "Title";
    }
}

Now this is my markup:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptTab" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rptTab_ItemBound">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <li id= "liTabTest" runat = "server">
                    <a>
                        <sc:Link ID = "hlTabLink" Field = "scTabLink" onclick = "TabClick()" runat ="server"></sc:Link>
                    </a>
                </li>
            </ItemTemplate>
       </asp:Repeater>

And this is the jQuery which is adding CSS class dynamically based on which item is selected:

$(document).ready(function () {
    init();
});

function init() {
    $("ul#Tab-labels li").removeClass("tab-label TabbedPanelsTabSelected");
    $("ul#Tab-labels li:first").addClass("tab-label TabbedPanelsTabSelected");
};

function TabClick() {
    alert('test');
};

Now you can see that I am displaying the CSS file based on the index of the tab. I also have to add the click event in that jQuery. So there are basically two things that I am confused:

• My click event in jQuery is not getting called 🙁
• From jQuery I have to know in the click event that which page it has
  to go through? So that I have to get from codebehind or what? Like a
  hidden field and store the tab pages in that, then fetch out from
  jQuery.

How should I resolve this? Please help!

For sc:Link, change the bind method to onClientClick for onclick = "TabClick()". OnClick is for the postback server method.

BTW, what is the sc prefix? Is there a user control you are adding to the page?
