tab reload problem with 1.9

tab reload problem with 1.9

Hi there!

Before 1.9 to reload a tab with new content i use:
  1. var selected = $("#tabs").tabs('option', 'selected');
  2. $tabs.tabs("url",selected, NEW_URL).tabs("load", selected);
and it works! But with the 1.9 version that not works anymore so i read the changelog and i try to change the href directly and then reload the tab:
  1. $("li#"+id).children("a").attr("href", NEW_URL);
    $("#tabs").tabs("load", sel);
The href of the <a> element change but the tab did not reload. What is the correct way to reload a tab with 1.9?

Thanks in advance!
