Jquery UI - reload selected tab?

Question

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.

Insert jQuery cookie to your page

and add this :

$(".tabs").click(function() {
    //getter , get the active tab
    var active = $( "#tabs" ).tabs( "option", "active" );
    $.cookie("tabs_selected", active);
});

var cookieValue = $.cookie("tabs_selected");
// setter, set the active tab stocked 
$( "#tabs" ).tabs( "option", "active",cookieValue );
