link to tab from outside "tabs div" ...

I'm new to JQuery and having trouble trying to link to a tab from outside the tabs div;

...select a tab from a text link instead of clicking a tab itself
var $tabs = $('#example').tabs(); // first tab selected $('#my-text-link').click(function() { // bind click event to link $tabs.tabs('select', 2); // switch to third tab return false; });
 ...

Here's my "tabs" code;

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs();
});
    </script>

...

<div id="tabs">


 <ul>
<li><a href="#tabs-1"> Ensaios</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2"> Sobre</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-3"> Contato</a></li>
 </ul>

(...)

...

and here's the code from the text where I'm trying to link from;

<div id="sticky-anchor">
  <div id="sticky"> Ensaios / Sobre / Contato</div>
</div>

I'm using another script on this div, could it be creating a conflict in  anyway?


<script type="text/javascript">

function sticky_relocate() {
  var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
  var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
  if (window_top > div_top)
    $('#sticky').addClass('stick')
  else
    $('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
  }
  $(function() {
  $(window).scroll(sticky_relocate);
  sticky_relocate();
  });
  
</script>

...

How do I link the text on this last div to the correspondent tabs at the "tabs div" ?

Would appreciate any help.
