access iframe javascript functions of tab from parent page

I am having trouble accessing functions from javascript inside the tabs of my tabbar.

I am using iframe mode (not iframes).

Using the function tabWindow doesn't work when I call it if I use "iframe" mode but it works just fine if I use "iframes" mode.

I need to use the single iframe mode for tabs so I dont have to deal with cached pages and other updating problems.

Is there anything special I have to do to get that "tabWindow" function working? Is there a specific tab id I need to pass it since technically all the tabs are using one iframe on the page?

I appreciate any help on this, thanks for making such an amazing product!!

Hello, 

In case of "iframe" mode you can use the following approach instead of tabWindow method:

var win = tabbar._glframe.contentWindow;

and then you can call functions:

win.someIframeFunction();
