destroy

Prepares the TabStrip for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the TabStrip element from DOM.

Example

<div id="tabstrip">
    <ul>
        <li>Tab 1</li>
        <li>Tab 2</li>
    </ul>
    <div>Content 1</div>
    <div>Content 2</div>
</div>

<script>
    var tabStrip = $("#tabstrip").kendoTabStrip().data("kendoTabStrip");

    // destroy the widget
    tabStrip.destroy();
</script>
