Ok, close enough. Your code still opens the link in a new window, which isn't what I'm looking for, however, I changed the code to the following. It now works nicely, so thanks :)<br />

<pre><code id="code-338242">window.location=($(ui.tab).attr(&quot;href&quot;).replace('#',''));
</code></pre>
</div>

Ok, I'm new to Javascript and even newer to JQuery, but am trying to learn both!<br />
<br />
I have a webpage where I have implemented JQuery ui Tabs and they are working absolutely fine, using the default function shown below.<br />
<br />
However, I have a real need to be able to open a new URL, using one of the tabs, however, I can't see how to do this. I'm sure it's possible, I just don't know how.<br />
<br />
I understand I can use AJAX in a tab, but this solution won't work for me, I really need to be able to set the href of a tab to a normal URL and have it open as if the user had clicked on a bog standard link, ie in the existing window, not in a new window.<br />
<br />
If anyone can help I'd be extermely grateful!<br />

<pre><code id="code-309827">$(document).ready(function() {
	$(function() {
		$(&quot;#tabs&quot;).tabs();
	});
 });
</code></pre>

Open New URL from JQuery Tab

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
