TabStrip HtmlHelper Overview
The Telerik UI TabStrip HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI TabStrip widget.
The TabStrip displays a collection of tabs with associated content. It is composed of an unordered list of items which represent tabs, and a collection of div elements, which contain the content for each tab.
The TabStrip is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC, a
professional grade UI library with 100+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.

});
</script>

}
function onActivate(e) {
console.log("Activated: " + $(e.item).find("> .k-link").text());
}
function onContentLoad(e) {
console.log("Content loaded in <b>"+ $(e.item).find("> .k-link").text() + "</b>");
