Question

I have two tabs and configured usign jQuery UI.

ul  class=\"tabs\"
  li  tabone
  li tabtwo
ul

dynamically from C# code behind I will hide

Answer 1

None of these answers worked for me. I just by-passed the problem. I did this:

$('#tabs-tab1').removeClass('tabs-hide');
$('#tabs-tab2').addClass('tabs-hide');
$('#container-tabs a[href="#tabs-tab2"]').parent().removeClass('tabs-selected');
$('#container-tabs a[href="#tabs-tab1"]').parent().addClass('tabs-selected');

It works great.
