Need currently selected tab ID for jQuery tabs

Question

I know I can get the index of the currently selected tab but can I somehow get to the ID (the equivalent of the ui.panel.id if this were triggered by an tab eve

Answer 1

For jquery version below 1.9:

 

        

            
Search
               
            
Notes
             
Writeback
         
            
Attorney
        
    

And you can find the active tab using:

 jQuery('#unid').find('li.active').attr('id')
