This is very easy to do with the current version of ui.tabs. The tabs
documentation page (http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs#Events) has a
section on the tab events. Its here where you can grab the tab label,
or tab text. Use the below code to bind the tabselect event to the
tabs. This is fired each time a tab is clicked. This event is passed
the ui object which contains the tab label.

$('.ui-tabs-nav').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
  alert('tab label ' + ui.tab.text());
});
