As much as i know it cannot be found.

You should use the lid value that will be shown in the URL when you access the Webtab.

Let me know if you have any questions

On the custom button which you have added, you can execute a javascript snippet(choose this option as you create the new button) and then define the snippet as below in the text area provided for this purpose.

 

Code snuppet:-

 

window.parent.location.href = 'http://yoururl.com';

let me understand the issue you are facing ?

Correct me if my interpretation is wrong OK

 

Say I have a button for creating a new account record, so what you want is that after the creation the user should be redirected to the detail page of that account thus created?

Is it what you want to do?

Thanks for the reply.

 

Let me explain the requirement.

 

 

I have custom object. It has a list of records. When users clicks on new button, I should redirect the user to a web tab.It will have a form. I can do this with custom button over ride by a visualforce page and apex class.

 

I did redirection with static Id of the web tab. But How can I get Id of the web tab dynamically by its name in the apex class.

 

Thanks,

To redirect to Web tabs, First access the Webtab you created. 

Then, you should copy the relative path from the Webtab URL i.e. from /servlet/servlet.Integration?lid=idval&ic=1 and create a pagereference with that.

That will navigate you to Webtab.
