I think you may be over-optimizing this; unless your actual app has a
lot more data than this, tabs really aren't helping. Furthermore, tabs
are going to make it much more complicated to do things like highlight
fields that didn't pass validation.
If there's really a lot of data, you may want to consider an actual
multistep entry process (saving the record along the way), as it keeps
the user from getting confused and lets them pause and come back
later.
If you're 100% sold on the JS tabs, take a look at the JQuery UI Tabs
stuff (http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs) - it does exactly what you were
describing.
