tabs

If I have three tabs:

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#sample-tab-1"><span>One</span></a></li>
        <li><a href="#sample-tab-2"><span>Two</span></a></li>
        <li><a href="#sample-tab-3"><span>Three</span></a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

I would like to swap to #sample-tab-2 by it's name. I know I can switch to a tab if I know it's number, but in the case I've run into I won't know that.

Notes: JQuery 1.3.1 / JQuery-UI 1.6rc6
