If you want to switch to the tab by name, try this:
// Usage: getIndexForId("#tabs", "MyTabName" )
function getIndexForId( tabsDivId, searchedId )
{
var index = -1;
var i = 0, els = $(tabsDivId).find("a");
var l = els.length, e;
while ( i < l && index == -1 )
{
e = els[i];
if ( searchedId == $(e).attr('href') )
{
index = i;
}
i++;
};
return index;
}
var index = getIndexForId('#tabs', '#MyTabName');
$("#tabs").tabs("select",index);
