Naomi, since I was working on a similar idea I am curious about how you did this. Are you populating only the selected tab when the page postsback and leaving the other tab controls empty until they select them? I am assuming you have to post the page back on a select and no reason to have all the controls on every tab populated. Also then are you preserving any data within a tab when they select a different tab.
Just questions I had when thinking about this idea for my project.
