How do I open a tab from with jQuery UI Tabs from an link outside of the div?

Question

This may be a little difficult to explain, but I\'ll try my best. I have a product page with two tabs, full description and video. These are done using jQuery UI Tabs.

Using jquery, bind a click event to your link that opens the tab you want.

$('#tabopenlink').click(function() {
    $('#tabs').tabs({active: tabidx});
});
