Hi,
This is just an idea (which I haven't checked) but since you have JS
experience I'm just gonna throw it at you.
The validation plugin adds an 'error' class to all problem fields. You could
very quickly loop through each tab, look for an error and (if found), change
the focus to that tab. something like...
$('#my-tabs > div').each(function(i){
if($('.error', this).length>0)
$(this).tabs('activate', i);
});
I'm not sure that 'activate' is the right action for the tabs plugin, you'll
have to check the documentation...
Cheers,
Diego A.
