Can I save a record before another function?

[KennethBlacow]

Hello All,

I have implemented Jason Solar's Prev-Next tab code Toggle Tab Controls (previous,next), but I would like to save the record before the tab switcher runs. I can get the record to save, then switch tabs, but then the page reloads and it goes back to the default tab. I am guessing I need to learn how to use David Petty‌'s suggested Windows sessionStorage Property, but I do not understand javascript enough to make those changes. Anyone that can help me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, David that moved me forward, but now we are getting a script error Unable to get property 'click' of undefined or null reference. for the following line of code.

tabStrip.get_tabs().getTab(sessionStorage.getItem("tabIndex")).click();‍

I wish I knew more java to troubleshoot myself, but I am just don't understand enough. I did figure out the first issue last night, but I started getting this new error, so I figured I had put a curly brace or closing parentheses in the wrong place.

Hi David,

I have the following code working it advances the tab at the same time it saves the record. However, I get the next tab on the screen, then when the master_btnApply function animation shows Loading it goes back to the tab I just left. 

<script type="text/javascript">  
     var tabIndexes, tabSetId, selectedTabIndex, tabStripElementId, tabStrip;  
     Sys.Application.add_load(function()  {  
          $.each($LM._tabSets, function(key, value) {  
               tabSetId = key;  
          });  
  
          if (tabSetId) {  
               tabIndexes = $LM._tabSets[tabSetId].tabIds;  
               tabStripElementId = 'master_DefaultContent_rts_ts' + tabSetId + '_t';  
               tabStrip = $find(tabStripElementId);  
               selectedTabIndex = tabStrip._selectedIndex;  
  
               // Hide previous button if users is on the first tab  
               if (selectedTabIndex == 0) $('.btnprev').hide();  
  
               // Hide next  button if users is on the last tab  
               if (selectedTabIndex == 3) $('.btnnext').hide();  
          }  
          if (sessionStorage["tabIndex"]) {
               tabStrip.get_tabs().getTab(sessionStorage.getItem("tabIndex"));
               sessionStorage.removeItem("tabIndex");
          }
     });  
  
     function selectTab(action) {  
          var tabId, tab;  
          if (action == 'prev') {  
               sessionStorage.setItem("tabIndex", tabIndexes[selectedTabIndex-1]);
               tabId = sessionStorage.getItem("tabIndex");  
               tab = $('li.tab_'+tabId).find('a.rtsLink').trigger('click');  
               tab.find('span.rtsTxt').trigger('click');  
               $('#master_btnApply').click(); //Added by Ken to Save record first
          }
  
          if (action == 'next') {  
               sessionStorage.setItem("tabIndex", tabIndexes[selectedTabIndex+1]);
               tabId = sessionStorage.getItem("tabIndex");  
               tab = $('li.tab_'+tabId).find('a.rtsLink').trigger('click');  
               tab.find('span.rtsTxt').trigger('click');  
               $('#master_btnApply').click(); //Added by Ken to Save record first
          } 
     
            console.log(tabIndexes, selectedTabIndex, tabId, tab);
           
     }  
</script>
