title: Kendo TabStrip: Getting the Selected Index on the Selected event (MVC 4)
body: <p>My TabStrip is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        @(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
                .Name("tabApplications")
                .Items(items =&gt;
                    {
                        items.Add().Text("Online").Selected(true);
                        items.Add().Text("Trading");
                    })
                .Animation(false)
                .Events(e=&gt;e.Select("tabstrip_select"))
                )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Javascript I get theSelected Item:</p>
  
  <pre><code>     function tabstrip_select(e) {
           var x = e.item;
       }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>: How do I get the Selected Index (ie "1") from this function. I looked over the Item object but didn't see anything obvious.</p>
