If the tab is not active it won't load anyway. Another option is to set all tabs unselected: $('#example').tabs({ unselected: true }); Or you can change the URL of a tab later and change it from being an in-page tab to an Ajax tab using the tabsHref method: var $tabs = $('#example').tabs(); $tabs.tabsHref(1, 'foo.php'); The panel the tab was associated with will be re-used for loading the content into on the next click. --Klaus
