There's no need to repeat the code... you can even do it with ".live" so it'll work if there's 1 or 100 tabs
$(document).ready(function(){ var $tabs = $("#tabs").tabs(); $('a[id^='link').live("click", function() { var hit = this.id.match(/^link(\d+)$/); if (hit && lit.length == 2) { $tabs.tabs('select', hit[1]); return false; } }); }); On Jan 16, 5:59 pm, CMI_Guy <market...@cmilc.com> wrote: > StephenJacob, > > Sloppy fix.
