How to set a default tab with Jquery UI

I'm using Jquery and Jquery UI with the following:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#tabvanilla > ul').tabs({ fx: { height: 'toggle', opacity: 'toggle' } });
});

Right now it automatically sets the first tabs as the default tab that is selected when the document loads. How do I override this and make the second tab the default selected tab when the page loads?

If you happen to be using jQuery UI >= 1.9, this is how it works:

$(".selector" ).tabs({ active: 2 });
