problem with jquery ui tabs reload

I am using jquery-ui tabs for my commercial site.The problem with the tabs is, each contains some form elements.we need to enter data into form feilds,upon clicking submit button control goes to a php page where the data is inserted into the data base and also I need to see the content which i entered once it is inserted.
I am using ajax call to this, in call back function if I use load ($('.selector').tabs('load',index);). It is not working.
If I use  $('.selector').tabs({active:index}); it is working
please tell me how can i reload the acive tab in this context.
