## Removing Tabs from a TabView

Dynamically removing tabs from a YUI TabView widget is done with the `removeTab` method.

We will create a `<div>` called `demo` and include the TabView markup:

<div id="demo" class="yui-navset"> <ul class="yui-nav"> <li><a href="#tab1"><em>Tab One Label</em></a></li> <li class="selected"><a href="#tab2"><em>Tab Two Label</em></a></li> <li><a href="#tab3"><em>Tab Three Label</em></a></li> </ul> <div class="yui-content"> <div id="tab1"><p>Tab One Content</p></div> <div id="tab2"><p>Tab Two Content</p></div> <div id="tab3"><p>Tab Three Content</p></div> </div> </div>

Next, create an instance of TabView from our `demo` element:

<script type="text/javascript"> var tabView = new YAHOO.widget.TabView('demo'); </script>

Next we will write a function that removes the active tab:

<script type="text/javascript"> var removeTab = function() { tabView.removeTab(tabView.get('activeTab')); }; </script> <p>A button will be used to trigger the tab removal. Here we create it, and assign a click listener that calls our removeTab function when the button is clicked:</p> <textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1"> <script> var button = document.createElement('button'); button.innerHTML = 'remove tab'; YAHOO.util.Event.on(button, 'click', removeTab); tabView.appendChild(button); </script>

This is a basic example of the TabView's addTab method.
