After Much frustration and reading of various posts and the jquery Documentation I created the following function:
var $MainTabs = $("#TabbedContentId").tabs(); function getIndexForId(searchId){ var existingIndex = $MainTabs.tabs('option','selected'); var myIndex = $MainTabs.tabs("select", searchId).tabs('option','selected'); $MainTabs.tabs("select", existingIndex); return myIndex; } it works and the best part is it is built entirely on jquery, no external functions needed.
