Use JavaScript functions to programmatically open specific panels. For example, you might have a button on your page that opens a particular tabbed panel when the user clicks the button.
Remember, Spry uses a zero-based counting system, so 0 indicates the first, leftmost tabbed panel. If the tabbed panel has an ID, you can also use the ID to refer to panels.
<button onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0)">open first panel</button> <button onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel('tabID')">open panel</button> <script type="text/javascript"> var TP1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1"); </script>
