(Little?) Jqueryui tabs help

[Samuz]

Is it just me or can I not create hyperlinks to open tabs?

 

If I send the link to a tab to someone

 

e.g http://www.example.com/index.html#tab2

 

and they click the tab, it will take them to my page and open #tab2, but if I were to create a link within my page

 

e.g

 

<a href="#tab2">Open this tab</a>

 

It displays empty content??? But as soon as I click refresh, the content for that tab is shown immediately. It's obvious that it has to do with the internal link, but is anyone aware of how to get past this?

Yeah, that's a known issue.

 

What you can do is:

 

<a href="#tab2" onclick="$('#my-tab-wrapper-id').tabs('select', 1)">
