How to hide or show a tab using JavaScript
Dynamics CRM 2011 forms are organized in tabs. Each tab contains sections which in turn contain fields.
The "Tab Properties" dialog (which is accessible inside the form designer of Dynamics CRM 2011) lets you specify whether a tab is visible (or hidden) by default.
By adding JavaScript to an event handler you can hide or show a tab in code. You need to know the name of the tab, then to show the tab is simply:
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_name").setVisible(true);
or to hide the tab:
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_name").setVisible(false);
