Thank you yet again!
Easy-peasy!
For others who may wish to do the same thing and find this thread...
var tabs = new _IG_Tabs(__MODULE_ID__, "Introduction");
...
tabs.addTab("Tab 1", "tab1", myCallBack);
... initialise your other tabs with the same callback function...
function myCallBack() {
// When a new tab is clicked (or otherwise entered), scroll the top
of the gadget into view
tabs.getHeaderContainer().scrollToView();
}
