Selecting Tab from another html-file

I have a problem selecting a tab out of an iFrame…

Example:

index.html: includes defined div for the tabbar (Tab A an Tab B)
a.html: html-file to be shown in iFrame by selecting Tab A
b.html: html-file to be shown in iFrame by selecting Tab B

Now I have to switch to Tab B by clicking a link in a.html… but the instance of the tabbar defined in index.html doesn’t exist in a.html. How can I do that? Is there any other possibility to switch tabs out of html-files loaded in the inner iFrames?

Regards

parent.tabbar.setTabActive(“tab_b_id”);

Where tabbar is the object of tabbar that is defined in in index.html

Hello!

Thanks for sharing this solution! I’m working on a similar setup and had a couple of questions. First, in cases where the content of the tabs is dynamically loaded, do you have any tips for ensuring that the correct tab is activated after the content has loaded? Also, have you encountered any issues with cross-origin policies when trying to access the parent document from the iFrame?

Looking forward to your insights!
