Hi Dirk,
Have a look at the tabs("enable") and tabs("enable", index) methods,
as well as the corresponding tabs("disable"), tabs("disable", index)
methods.
Knowing this, you can set
$('.selector').tabs({ ajaxOptions: { ... } });
... wherein you disable the tabs in the beforeSend event and re-enable
them in the complete event.
See http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax for more information on
that.
This is very slick and it works exactly as you may expect. The only
complexity is whether you have pre-disabled tabs. Otherwise --
meaning when all tabs are active and enabled -- you can use tabs
("enable") and tabs("disable") with impunity without specifying
individual tabs or exceptions.
