MorningZ, Thanks for your reply. Something was missing from your
syntax so I made one small change to your script:
$(document).ready(function(){
var $tabs = $("#tabs").tabs();
$("a[id^='link']").live("click", function() {
var hit = this.id.match(/^link(\d+)$/);
if (hit && lit.length == 2) {
$tabs.tabs('select', hit[1]);
return false;
}
});
});
But, I must admit I know next to nothing about jquery live events. Can
you help me understand what markup I would need to put on a <a href>
link to make this script work. I would love to be able to simplify my
method for allowing text links on the page to interact with the tabs.
Much Thanks!!
