jQuery how to set first tab active?

Question

 $( \'#xxx\' ).tabs({
select: function(event, ui) { 
var theSelectedTab2 = ui.index;

if (theSelectedTab2  == 0) {
$(\'ul li.ep_s1\').removeClass(\'ep_s1\').addClass(\'e         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps the following line, after the tabs initialize:

$( '#xxx' ).tabs('select', 0);

Hopefully, it will also trigger the event you want.
