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.
