I have started a jsBin to assist with your issue. When I click each tab it loads content like you desribe. Do you have a datasource javascript object to add to your code?

Need more info, please.

$(".tabs-details-wrapper").kendoTabStrip({
    select: function (e) {
        //var data = this.dataSource.at($(e.item).index());
        var templateSelector = ""
        // alert(e);
        if (e.item.innerText == "Identification") templateSelector = kendo.template($("#details-templateTab1").html())
        else templateSelector = kendo.template($("#details-templateTab2").html()) ;
        // alert(e.contentElement);

        //templateSelector = kendo.template($("#details-templateTab1").html());
        $(e.contentElement).html(templateSelector);
        // kendo.bind(e.contentElement, data);
        // $(e.contentElement).html(template(this.dataSource.at($(e.item.innerText).index())))
    },
                   // template: $("#details-templateTab1"),
                    animation: false
                    //dataSource: ds // what is your DS?
                   // dataSource: ds,
});

I think the problem is that in your datasource you are not defining the "dataContentField". Once I added this in conjunction with a datasource I started seeing dynamic results from select function.

Here is my JavaScript

$(".tabs-details-wrapper").kendoTabStrip({
    select: function (e) {
            var templateSelector = ""
            if (e.item.innerText == "Identification") templateSelector = kendo.template($("#details-templateTab1").html())
            else templateSelector = kendo.template($("#details-templateTab2").html());
            $(e.contentElement).html(templateSelector(this.dataSource.at($(e.item).index())))
    },
    animation: false,
    dataTextField: "Name",
    dataContentField: "Content",
    dataSource: [
      { Name: "Identification", YearOfCompletion: "1998", Title: "This is first title", Content: "", customMessage: "This is custom message 1" },
      { Name: "Planning", YearOfCompletion: "1999", Title: "This is second title", Content: "", customMessage: "This is custom message 2" },
      { Name: "Implementation", YearOfCompletion: "2000", Title: "This is third title", Content: "", customMessage: "This is custom message 3" },
      { Name: "Review", YearOfCompletion: "2001", Title: "This is fourth title", Content: "", customMessage: "This is custom message 4" },
      { Name: "Management Response", YearOfCompletion: "2002", Title: "This is fifth title", Content: "", customMessage: "This is custom message 5" }
    ]

});

It didn't really matter what i put in the content property of the dataSource because this is getting replaced on select.

Here is my html

<div class="tabs-details-wrapper" id="Tab1"></div>
<script id="details-templateTab1" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 control-label">Year of Completion</label>
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
        <span class="control-readonly">#=YearOfCompletion#</span>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 control-label">Title</label>
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
        <span class="control-readonly">#=Title#</span>
    </div>
</div>
</script>
<script id="details-templateTab2" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 control-label">Hello1</label>
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
        <span class="control-readonly">#=customMessage#</span>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 control-label">Title1</label>
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
        <span class="control-readonly">#=Title#</span>
    </div>
</div>
</script>

Is this what your looking for?
