One option would be to simply add the selected class while
constructing the HTML...:
<li class="ui-tabs-selected">...</li>
and initializing tabs without selected option:
$(...).tabs();

Thanks for the reply.
I tried that to start with but unfortunately it didn't actually work.
I'll try it again and see how I go.

Still no luck. Here is what is happening...
In the head I have the following code to implement the tabs:
$(function() {
$("#tab_block").tabs({
});
});
In the body I have this php code to build the tabs wanting tab-2 to
open by default:
// Prepare tabs
echo "<div id=\"tab_block\">\n";
// Build tab navigation
echo "<ul>
<li class=\"e_objective_tab\"><a href=\"#tab-1\">Ojectives</a></
li>
<li class=\"e_risks_tab ui-tabs-selected\"><a href=
\"#tab-2\">Risks</a></li>
<li class=\"e_example_tab\"><a href=\"#tab-3\">Examples</a></li>
</ul>\n";
// First Tab -> Description
echo "<div id=\"tab-1\">\n";
...
etc
The other classes in the <li> are for styling the tabs.
Hope someone can help with this. From what I see this should have
worked.

So no clues? I'm not sure what to try now and I need to try and this
solved fairly soon. :(
