Hi,
Though we can't enable a particular Tab but we can access the
contents of that Tab using ie-dev-toolbar.
I was able to successfully upload a file from a tab which wasn't
activated. Below is my code
$ie.div(:id,"tabContent5").file_field(:name, "theFile").set
("test.txt")
$ie.div(:id,"tabContent5").button(:class,"formbutton").click
