I just wanted to add a little more information. I changed the index to
the new way of: tabsEl.tabs("option", "selected"); and am still
getting the same results. I am using jQuery 1.3.2 and jQueryUI 1.7.
The tabs are also sortable, but the problem still exists when the tabs
are not made sortable. I am loading the tab content remotely and
noticed that I don't appear to have an issue as long as I select
another tab and then go back to the tab I am trying to delete before
deleting it. I tried using the .index() method to find the correct
index, but this does not work if the tabs have been rearranged.

Thanks again for any help!
