Create a count on a tab in form

Question

Is there a way to create a count on a tab in a form?I have a form with a few tabs that have reports. I want to show the total number of records on the report on the tab itself.

I was waiting for someone to say you couldn't do this but alas nobody came forward. Using the IOL technique and something like this will do the job:

$.get(dbidTable, {
  act: "API_GetNumRecords"
}).then(function(xml) {
  var numRecords = $("num_records", xml).text();
  $("#tab_t1_link a").append(' (${numRecords)');
});

Notes:

(1) This is only the essential code. You will have to modify the code for your specific parameters and repeat the code for each child table.

(2) The above code will append to the tag name a string counting the number of child records in parentheses:

Tab 1 (100) Tab 2 (200) ...
