note: in order to get tabs in markup to have this extension, you need to override ‘_setupChild’ instead of ‘addChild’

yes. it would be based on the linked “mucking dijit” Cookie, though slightly more difficult. (You can’t over-ride and use this.inherited(arguments) in a dojo.extend, iirc) Maybe something like:

dojo.connect(dijit.layout.TabContainer.prototype,"addChild",function(child){   
     if(!child["setTitle"]){
         // doit ...
     }
});

cool, was looking around for that already. Thanks phiggins.

I don’t want to make my own class, but stay with dijit.layout.TabContainer.

>> The same principals apply: we can mix setTitle into an instance, extend TabContainer,

Means, I could also do this with a dojo.extend(…), right?
