Answer 1

Not too sure about this but I think jQuery dynamically assigns a class of 'ui-state-active'

Correct, jQuery adds the class `ui-state-active` to the active tab. See http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/ with Firebug to see how it works.

Please try with Index

 function getIndex(){
     return $("ul li.ui-state-active").index();
    }

It will returns the index of selected li or tab.
