Tab Select event not working for jQuery 1.8.3

Question

I have been trying to fire a tab select event for some time for jQuery 1.8.3, but not sure why it cannot. I worked with jsfiddle and worked with layouts, but when I apply these changes to my jquery file, it does not work.

It remains only to upgrade the version to the latest version, but I would prefer not to introduce this change at the moment, because we are at the final stage of deployment in Prod.!

Answer 1

"activate" worked for me! Since Kevin B mentioned for JQueryUI-1.10, select an event more!

$('#tabs').tabs({ activate: function (event, ui) { alert("hi"); } });
