Hi folks,

Up until I updated to jquery-ui-1.8.10 (already using jQuery 1.5), the following code has worked as expected:

case 'baseeditor': 
 $('#tab1').html(responseText).fadeIn(500, function() { 
  ... load the contents of the tab and stuff...
 }); 
 $("#prolearn").tabs("select",1); 
 break;
case ...

The tab is fueled and then focus is moved from tab0 (from where the ajax call is initiated) to tab1.

Now, that code won't work, but this version does:

case 'baseeditor': 
 $("#prolearn").tabs("select",1); 
 $('#tab1').html(responseText).fadeIn(500, function() { 
  ... load the contents of the tab and stuff...
 }); 
 break;
case ...

Can someone explain the difference - have I just been lucky getting away with my original version?

Thanks/Bruce
