ui.tabs - how to retrieve a tab index from string identifier
Is there a way, given a tab name/href/identifier/object to retrieve
the tabs internal index (required for remove(), enable(), disable()
and load())?
I have an event handler whose purpose is to remove the tab to which it
is attached. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to locate the index of
the tab, particularly in the face of the possibility that preceding
tabs MAY have already been deleted, modifying the creation-time index.
The one workaround I've found it to extend ui.tabs with a second
getter that can convert the tab name/href/identifier/object to a tab
index (as is already done throughout the internals). This doesn't
seem like the best solution given that I'm sure others have already
solved this.
Note that I'm currently working with version 1.5.1 but hope to soon
migrate to 1.7.1.
Any thoughts / assistance??
Thanks!
