Using Tab widget to switch to another website

Using Tab widget to switch to another website

Dear Community,

I am new to jQuery UI and I wanna use the tab widget to create a horizontal navigation bar.
As I understood by now, you only can use the tab widget to switch between different divs in the same website.
You use #idOfTheDivYouWannaSee in the corresponding link.
But instead of switching between the same website, I wanna switch to another URL by clicking a tab item:

<div id="tabs>
      <ul>
            <li><a href=?modeId=1">Locations</a></li>
      </ul>
</div>

Well, as a newbie I am expecting now that jQuery UI reloads the current page with the new URL.
But as a result jQuery generates its own identifiers to switch between the tabs inside the same page without reloading it.
I already had a look at the corresponding documentation:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#...follow_a_tab.27s_URL_instead_of_loading_its_content_via_ajax
But this tip does not work for me.

Can anybody provide some help?
