I don't want to use autopost back
Assuming you know that with AJAX, this postback would do partial update - but if you are not ready to do that, then you need to define a client method on tab change event. In that JavaScript method, clear the controls of the tab and then move on.

Try out!

there's a property called onclientclick where we can pass javascript function name,the function get fired on clicking a tab in tab container, the problem is that I was unable to get client ids(controls ids) of that tab, how to get those ids to clear the contents in those controls.??? any suggestion is appreciated.

Events sounds just fine for the job. Do a ViewSource of webpage and see the ID's of the control you need. Use it.

I got the id of the iframe i need,I just re assigned same src to the iframe in the javascript, it works fine for 1st tab, but it loads the 1st tab even if I mention src for other tabs. what i mean to say is:
1st tab onclient click=> iframe.src="1st tab aspx address"(assigning same src, works fine, clearing all controls data)
2nd tab onclient click=> iframe.src="2nd tab aspx address"(assigning same src , switching to 1st tab)
I enclosed tab container in asp:update panel.Hope u understand the issue.

See if you can find any 'active' tab or the currentTabIndex kind of property in Javascript when OnclientClick is raised.
