Selecting a jQuery Tab using a parameter in the URL

Question

I am currently investigating replacing the tabs provided by a Struts 1 tag library with the tabs provided by jQuery UI. I have successfully managed to get the tabs integrate

Answer 1

Using http://www.mathias-bank.de/2007/04/21/jquery-plugin-geturlparam-version-2:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var param = $(document).getUrlParam('selectedTab');
    $('#menu').tabs('select', param);
});

From documentation:

#select

Signature:

.tabs( 'select' , [index] )

Select a tab, as if it were clicked. The second argument is the zero-based index of the tab to be selected or the id selector of the panel the tab is associated with (the tab's href fragment identifier, e.g. hash, points to the panel's id).
