Manually activate tabs jquery ui 1.10.3

Question

I am really getting mad, I searched through jquery ui doc and stackoverflow\'s questions (tons of questions) but I cannot figure out how to manually act

Answer 1

Use the following to activate the last tab.

$("#stepBuilder").tabs({ active: -1 });

I've created an example for you on jsfiddle.net.

The API doc says about the activate option:

active

Type: Boolean or Integer Default: 0

Which panel is currently open.

Multiple types supported:

Boolean: Setting active to false will collapse all panels. This requires the collapsible option to be true.

Integer: The zero-based index of the panel that is active (open). A negative value selects panels going backward from the last panel.
