Get the tab index by id

Get the tab index by id

Hi:
I have a problem using the jquery tabs. I think it should be rather
easy to resolve, but I just can't figure it out and couldn't find the
answer anywhere. Here is the thing:
I have a tab display, which is loaded dinamically, this means, each
time i press a certain button, a new tab is added to the tab
collection, now, what I need to do is see whether the tab id to be
added is already there.
I tried to iterate over the tabs collection, but couldn't figure how
to do this.
Thanks!
