There may come a time when clicking on a button requires your script to know which tab has been selected by the user. The discussed technique is now a couple years old, but it's a critical technique to know.

This video provides a new twist on how this technique is implemented. It allows you to trigger scripts based on tab selections and do this based on further conditions.

If you've ever wanted to trigger a script when a user selects a given tab from a tab panel, then this video will show you everything you need to know.
