Kendo UI TabStrip - Selecting a tab by it's Text

Solution

Basically you need to find the li.k-item and pass it to the select method. Here comes the jQuery:

var ts = $('#tabstrip').data().kendoTabStrip;
var item = ts.tabGroup.find(':contains("What you look for")');
ts.select(item);

Problem

I am trying to select a tab in javascript when I only know the Text of the tab I know to get the Selected Tab I do this: ``` var tabStrip = $("#tabMain").data("kendoTabStrip"); var tab = tabStrip.select(); ``` How do I cause the Selected Tab to be the one with the text "MyTitle" Note: I create the Tab with MVC 4 ``` @(Html.Kendo().TabStrip() .Name("tabMain") .Items(items => { items.Add().Text("MyTitle") ```
