Using jquery to remember which tab was open when form saved?

I followed this tutorial to make a tabbed menu for a WordPress plugin I've created. I would like the tab that was open when the form was last saved to be the tab that is open when the page reloads.

I have 6 tabs, Settings, and Group 1 through Group 5. If they are on Group 3 and click to save the form, right now it reloads on the Settings tab. I would like it to open on Group 3. I was thinking of dropping a cookie every time they clicked on a new tab, but that doesn't seem like the cleanest way to do this. Any suggestions?

I think you can use localStorage or sessionStorage depending on your usage. They can be used to store temporary / persistent data at the client browser:

// set data
sessionStorage.setItem("currentTab", tabid);

// get data
var tabid = sessionStorage.getItem("currentTab");
