jQueryUI tabs : clear div of other tabs when tab is selected

I have a page with several tabs that show similar content, to make sure I access the correct fields in the correct tab, I want to clear the contents of the divs of the other tabs as soon as the user clicks a tab.

This is the code I use :

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>WebShop</title>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/includes/igepa.css" />
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css" />


    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>    

    <script>
    $(function() {
        $( "#tabs" ).tabs({
            beforeLoad: function( event, ui ) {
                ui.jqXHR.error(function() {
                    ui.panel.html(
                        "Couldn't load this tab. We'll try to fix this as soon as possible. " +
                        "If this wouldn't be a demo." );
                });
            },
            load: function(event, ui){
               $('.ui-tabs-hide').empty();  
            }                          
        });
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="/itemStructPaper/Enveloppen">Enveloppen</a></li>
        <li><a href="/itemStructPaper/GrafischKarton">Grafisch karton</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>


</body>
</html>

I have added an example here : http://www.igepa.be/phdj/tabs/index.htm

page1.htm and page2.htm both have a form with a the same field on them but a different value, but when you select the tab for the second page you get the value of the field of the first page.

You can do it using the ui parameter and referring to its siblings, like this:

   beforeLoad: function(event, ui){
      $(ui.panel).siblings('.ui-tabs-panel').empty();
    }

Update: I've just updated my code above to just change load for beforeLoad event so the siblings tab contents are removed before the page of the current tab is executed.
