My Kung Fu doesn't work in Dojo!

Question

Alright, I'm embarassed to say that I have spent all day working on what appears to be a very simple function. Online reference and forums have been no help. I have a TabContainer with 3 ContentPanes (tabs). When a "tab" (contentpane that is child to the tabcontainer) is clicked I want to be able to retrieve its "id" attribute so I can "makeSomethingHappen();" that is specific to that tab ("id"). I found lots of references and examples online, but none of them work. The attribute information keeps coming back undefined. You're supposed to be able to use the selectChild and/or selectedChildWidget of the TabContainer to enable this functionality, but I have yet to find a way to make it work. Thanks for any thoughts or alternatives that solve my problem!!!! Here is a simple sample:

Lorem ipsum and all around...

Lorem ipsum and all around - second...

Lorem ipsum and all around - last...

Ksandy,  
  something like this worked for me:

function doSomething() {
  alert(dijit.byId('mainTab').selectedChildWidget.id);
}

OMG!, do I feel stupid! Thank you!
