Activate (or change focus) on ADF Paneltab using javascript

Question

Hello,
I am trying to embed an oracle form inside ADF page. I need to activate or change focus on an adf panel tab when I click on a link. I need to use javascript for this as I cannot afford a trip to the server (and hence a backing bean is not an option), as every time the page refreshes the form loses its session. Is there a way to activate/disclose a paneltab using javascript?
Regards,
Anirban

This problem seems to be resolved. We can use javascript as well as a managed bean to do this. I was missing the setDisclosed(true/false) function. The best part is, even without a partial trigger or a partial submit, we can do this without refreshing the page when using a managed bean.
When using javascript, we can use the below method:
function f1(event) {
var v1 = event.getSource();
v1.setDisclosed(true);
}
