Question

Say I have the following Dijit tabs in a tab container:

tab_1
tab_dave
tab_2
tab_3
...
tab_n

How could I close all tabs apart from tab_dave?

Answer 1

One way to do it would be to loop through all the children, removing the ones without that particular name or id.

function closeAllBut(containerId, tabId)
{
    var tc = dijit.byId(containerId),
        tabs = tc.getChildren();

    for(var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++)
    {
        if(tabs[i].id != tabId) tc.removeChild(tabs[i]);
    }
}

Seems quite slow though, it’d be nice if there was a cleaner way (so don’t accept my answer! 🙂 )
