Javascript to run when Tab gets focus

BLOMASKY

Since there is no way that aware can run a process when a tab gets focus, wondering if anyone has written a script (so I don't have to reinvent the wheel), that can run (and call an aware process) when a tab gets focus?

The reason I need this is that I have a customer query and when the user selects a customer, it opens a NEW tab with the customer's orders. The user can do this again (and again) and now have 2 or more new tabs with orders for different customers. I have an option on the top menu to create new orders. I need to know which customer I am creating the order for. I have an attribute in RegularUser with the "selectedCustomer" but if there are 2 windows, I have no clue which tab the user selected.

If anyone has a better solution, I am all ears, but it seems like I do need to have a process run when the tab gets focus to update the regularUser. (although, I am not sure how I will get the current selected customer.. thats another matter).

Guessing you have thought of this already, but if the tab that is opened has the customer in context on a form, you could had have "Create to order for this customer" operation.

I could do that, if I wanted to have each tab have the options on them, but its a MUCH cleaner interface when I have all of the menu options on a dropdown on the top menu. Oh well.

it would certainly be useful if onTabSelect and onTabClose events were also captured like onRowHover is for grids.
potential user sponsored enhancement?
and, since the Kendo Tab component supports it, it would be an obvious benefit if tabs could be reordered by dragging.
