Dear All, I worked with Admin Lte tabs and i found when the form has submitted than the respective fist tab will be selected always. As a result the user focus will be out. here is a solution for it Add the following code in ascx control file <script type="text/javascript"> $(function () { var tabName = $("[id*=TabName]").val() != "" ? $("[id*=TabName]").val() : "tab_1"; $('#Tabs a[href="#' + tabName + '"]').tab('show'); $("#Tabs a").click(function () { $("[id*=TabName]").val($(this).attr("href").replace("#", "")); }); }); </script> <asp:HiddenField ID="TabName" runat="server" /> Following code will be added on the code behind TabName.Value = Request.Form[TabName.UniqueID]; I hope it resolve your issue as well Regards Rashid Imran Bilgrami ...
