My issue is this. When a tab is inactive and I select an item on the vertical menu. How can I make it appear as if this tab has been activated. I already tried to search for the tab and call $("myTabs").tabs('selected',index); but this has given me no results.

Thanks, hope I was not confusing

Sorry I just found the solution under related. It is here
