Setting Tab Animation

Hi Jeremy,

The animation API is not yet documented, because it is still a subject to change. We will be publishing a blog post soon.

That said, you can specify animation effects only for the whole TabStrip, not for a specific tab, in the form "effect:direction", where direction is currently only valid for the slide effects, which will change with next release, where all effects will have directions. Can you elaborate why do you need different animation effects on a specific tab?

Kind regards,

Oh I'm not trying to be that fancy!  I do not want to set different animations for specific tabs.  I am simply trying to set some basic animation for the whole tab control.

I am a little unclear on your explanation of "effect:direction".

So looking at the Web Demo, I want to configure the tabs to 

"toggle animation"
and 
"animate opacity - Off"

What are the settings I can pass in for this?

Hello Jeremy,

What you describe is actually turning off the TabStrip animations, you can do that by passing false for animation, like this:
$("#tabstrip").kendoTabStrip({
    animation: false
});
