jQuery UI 1.10 Tabs - Getting Index of Current Tab

I remember being able to get the index of the current tab very easily from jQuery UI, something like ui.panel.index. I couldn't find it in my code and figured out the way to do it with jQuery UI 1.10
Determining the Current Tab Index
Most of the documentation and examples for JQuery UI keep using the same basic code that doesn't really work if you have more than one tabbed-interface on any of your web pages. The jQuery UI documentation tells you to do this:
- // getter
- var active = $( ".selector" ).tabs( "option", "active" );
Getting the Tab Index of the Currently Active Tab
The above will work fine if you have a single div.selector on your page. However, if you have multiple tab sets, I've found the easiest solution is the following:
- // this will work in any callback function - activate() or load()
- var $thisTabContainer = ui.newTab.closest('.ui-tabs');
- var active = $thisTabContainer.tabs("option", "active");
That way, no matter how many different configurations of tabs you may have on a page, you will always get the current tab.
Cheers,
