I've managed to modify the tabs code to allow you to send a new URL to the tab to be executed. Here's a diff:
Compare: (<)Original\jquery.tabs.js with: (>)Modified\jquery.tabs.js 356c358,362 < // if the tab is already selected or disabled or animation is still running stop here --- > var tgt = arguments[1] || false; > > // if the tab is already selected or disabled or animation is > still running stop here > if( !tgt ) > { 361a367 > } 387c394 < $(this).trigger('click'); --- > !tgt ? $(this).trigger('click') : > $(this).trigger('click', [tgt]) ; 427a434,435 > var tgt = arguments[1] || false; > 430,435c439,452 < // if onClick returns false, the tab is already selected or disabled or animation is still running stop here < if ((typeof onClick == 'function' && onClick(this, toShow[0], toHide[0]) == false && trueClick) || < container.locked || li.is('.' + settings.selectedClass) || li.is('.' + settings.disabledClass)) { < this.blur(); < return false; < } --- > if( !tgt ) > // if we've not passed a new target > { > // if onClick returns false, the tab is already > selected or disabled or animation is still running stop here > if ((typeof onClick == 'function' && > onClick(this, toShow[0], toHide[0]) == false && trueClick) || > container.locked || li.is('.' + > settings.selectedClass) || li.is('.' + settings.disabledClass)) { > this.blur(); > return false; > } > } > else > { > remoteUrls[clicked.hash] = tgt; > } 589c606 < return function(tab) { --- > return function(tab, tgt) { 599c616 < a.trigger(tabEvent); --- > a.trigger(tabEvent, [tgt]); To use: $('#tabs').triggerTab(2, 'http://mysite.com/mypage.html'); One benefit is that the tab remembers its new target, so when its clicked you get the same page again, rather than the one set by default. Its probably a terrible hack, but it works for now. I hope you decide to add this feature in your next release, its extremely useful.
