Close a Tab

Thanks for the reply.

I don't want to hide the tab but rather destroy it. I have ended up doing it this way and it works fine. Not sure why Adobe didn't create a function that closes the tab. I took me hours to find the underlying EXTJS function.

    <script type="text/javascript">
        closeTab = function(tabName){
            // get the underlying EXT object for the tab layout
            var tabs = ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout('myTabs');
            // get the tab you want to close
            var tab = tabs.getTab(tabName).id;
   alert(ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout('myTabs').removeTab(tabName))
  
        }
        closeNow = function(){
        closeTab('tab2')
        }
    </script>

<input type="button" onclick="closeNow()" value="close tab">

I wish they make things as easy.
