Tab Control - Change active tab

Hi,

I have a quick question that I am hoping will have an easy answer.

I have a form with a tab control and 3 tabs. What I would like to do is have a button on one of the tabs change the active tab.
So under tab 1 the users clicks the button which will bring them to tab 2. I know they can just click on the tab header at the top however I want to do some quick validation of information before making that tab visible and switching focus to it, is this possible?

Regards,

Daryl

function SetTabIndex(index)
{
var tabs = $find('TabContainerClientID');
tabs.set_activeTabIndex(index);
}
Thank you Jason!
