ui.tabs Notation inconsistencies ?!?

ui.tabs Notation inconsistencies ?!?


//WHY o WHY
$(document).ready(function(){
var $tabs= $('#set1 ul').tabs({ selected: 1, fx: {height: 'show',
opacity: 'toggle'} }); //WORKS, but...
if ( $("div.errors").length > 0 ) {
//...but inside here I have to use a different
notation:
$('#set1 ul').tabs('select', 1 );
// since $('#set1 ul').tabs({selected:
1 }); FAILS ?!?
}
Ciao, thanks
