Remember which tab was active after refresh

Question

I\'m using jquery tabs on a web page and when the page is refreshed it loses what ever tab I had been on and goes back to the first tab.

Has anyone come across this

Answer 1

Include the jquery cookies plugin :

declare a cookie name inside $.function({.. or document.ready as

var cookieName = "mycookie";

$("#tabs").tabs({
    selected : ($.cookies.get(cookieName) || 0),
    select : function(e, ui) {
        $.cookies.set(cookieName, ui.index);
    }
        });
