Syntax |

Activate Tab by Title |
Boolean |
Activates the specified tab (by title and index): Title: Search criteria of the tab title that needs to be activated. The value can contain wild card variations ; *-any number of symbols, “?” one character. Index: The index of the tab with the specified title. This is a 1- based index. For example, if you have two open tabs that are the same (for example, google), to activate the second “google” tab , set the Index to 2 The known issue/limitation with this function is that only visible tab buttons are supported. If you open multiple tabs in the same frame set, IE adds a scroll bar and starts hiding several tabs. Hidden tabs will not be activated. |
