Opening Form to Specific Tab

I am trying to open a form to a specific tab on the form. I am attempting to do this by using a formula field to reference a code page using image onload. Having this tab listed first isn't a solution that will work for me since I plan on eventually using this method dynamically.

My current setup:

Created Rich Text Field:


var text iol = "<img qbu='module' src='/i/clear2x2.gif' onload="javascript:if(typeof QBU=='undefined'){QBU={};$.getScript(gReqAppDBID+'?a=dbpage&pagename=";

var text /iol = "&rand='+new Date().getTime())};">";

$iol & "specifictab.js" & $/iol

Code Page: specifictab.js

$("tab_t4_link a").click(); location.assign('#navTop');​


This is the tab I want to open to:

I have two questions:
  1. Is this method going to be used only on records that already exist, or do you plan to target tabs when 'adding' a record as well?
  2. How do you plan to have users 'access' these records with targeted tabs?  Do they access from potentially hundreds of different reports, or is it only a few?
