jQuery UI tabs javascript click function not working

I am using jQuery UI tabs, but I am having an issue.

My javascript code:

 $(function() {
  $("#tabs").tabs();
 });

My HTML:

<div class="demo">
  <div id="tabs">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#tabs-1">Eat</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
      tab 1
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
      tab 2
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-3">
      tab 3
    </div>
  </div>  
</div><!-- End demo -->

I am using another script.js file. from that I am calling one click function.

$("#tabs-2").click(function()
{
  alert("This is tab3");    
});

This function is not working. I want to display some data from the database on clicking each tab. How to write js function using jQuery? Please help me.

Thanks, Raj

This is the correct code you should use

HTML:

<div class="demo">
  <div id="tabs">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#tabs-1">Eat</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-2">Drink</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tabs-3">Sleep</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
      tab 1
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
      tab 2
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-3">
      tab 3
    </div>
  </div>  
</div>

jQuery:

$(function() {
    $("#tabs").tabs();

    $("#tabs-2").click(function() {
        alert("This is tab2");    
    });
}); ​

You can verify it working here.

Hope it helps

What type of error are you getting? Can you use Firebug to help debug the issue you are having w/your jQuery?

Have you tried:

$("a[href=#tabs-2]").click(function()
{
  alert("This is tab3");    
});
