Is there a way to reload the selected tab I know there is the .load() function. But it wants a tab index and I don\'t seem to see a way to grab the selected tabs id.
Simen did have the correct answer but this has now been deprecated since JQuery UI 1.9

You now use 'active' instead of 'selected'
So the code will look like:
var current_index = $("#tabs").tabs("option","active");
$("#tabs").tabs('load',current_index);
