JQuery UI - Select specific tabs dynamically

I want to develop an entirely ajax backend for a website I'm developing, and I'm looking at using jQuery UI. The tabs widget looks like it could be useful for my menu, however, I want to know if there's a way to load a specific tab dynamically. So basically, if someone entered the URL mysite.com/tab1 it would open the first tab, and tab2 would open the second etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Try setting a name property on the tab link ( like so <a name="tab-1" > </a> and then yoursite.com/#tab-1 it will activate your tab :)

There is no reason why it should not work! ;-)

Ahh! what you are looking for is called Hijax with support for the browser's back/forward navigation buttons and bookmarking. Enhance comparable DHTML driven links as well.

try this:
