Whoops that's wrong (though it gave the correct answer in my trivial
test case).

My first answer would break if any pane contained other lists with <a>
tags.

This is more robust:

  $("#tabs>ul>li>a").eq(1).attr("href")  // finds the href of the
second tab.

This could be made real easy if you added a mnemonic helper-class, say
class="foo", to each <a> tag.  Then it becomes

  $(".foo").eq(1).attr("href")  // finds the href of the second tab.
