Having trouble deselecting all jquery tabs

Question

I set up some jQuery tabs to start off with no tabs selected like this:

$('#tabs').tabs( { selected: -1 } );

Then I also have a separate link that when pressed needs to deselect all the tabs.

$("#deselectButton").click(function(){   
    $('#tabs').tabs( 'select' , -1 )
});

or

$("#deselectButton").click(function(){   
    $('#tabs').tabs( 'selected' , -1 )
});

The deselectButton click does deselect the tabs content, however the tabs title remains active with the class 'ui-tabs-selected ui-state-active'.

What is the correct way to deselect all the tabs?

Answer 1

Try this code:

$("#deselectButton").click(function(){          
    $('#tabs').tabs( 'selected' , -1 )
    $(".ui-tabs-selected").removeClass("ui-state-active").removeClass("ui-tabs-selected");
});
