It also shows the contents of tabNav[0], but the tab that displays as selected is whatever was currently selected. So if I originally displayed the tabnav and clicked the 3rd tab, then clicked the button completely outside of the tabnav that causes it to redisplay, it will correct show the contents of tabnav[0], but visually it looks like the 3rd tab is still selected. I also tried tabNav.validateNow( ) and it doesn't work. To test I added a button completely outside of the tabnav with click="tabnav. selectedIndex= 0", works great. So what am I not doing?
