    copied!<p>i have a series of links when clicked adds tab using jquery.</p> <pre><code>function addTab(title, uri) { var newTab = $("#tabs").tabs("add", uri, title); } </code></pre> <p>I want only one tabs per link. if users keeps pressing the link it keeps adding new tabs to that div.</p> <p>one way i was thinking was adding a id to anchor that that is created inside the li of the Tab by jquery but i don;t see how to do that so</p> <pre><code>&lt;li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-top ui-tabs-selected ui-state-active"&gt;&lt;a href="#ui-tabs-4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ncollison Collison&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>instead of justtab number that jquery gives i want to add id with unique value that i will pass to the method. so this <code>&lt;a href="#ui-tabs-4"&gt;</code> becomes <code>&lt;a href="#ui-tabs-4" id="12323"&gt;</code> so i can check for this id before i add another tab. i am not sure how to add this unique value to the tab anchor right after i add the tab in method above addTab(title, uri, uniquevlaue) .</p> <p><strong>EDIT1</strong></p> <pre><code>$(function () { $('#tabs').tabs( { cache: true }, { ajaxOptions: { cache: false, error: function (xhr, status, index, anchor) { $(anchor.hash).html("Couldn't load this tab."); }, data: {}, success: function (data, textStatus) { } }, add: function (event, ui) { //select the new tab $('#tabs').tabs('select', '#' + ui.panel.id); } }); }); function addTab(title, uri) { // If tab already exist in the list, return if ($("#" + title).length != 0) return; var newTab = $("#tabs").tabs("add", uri, title); } function closeTab() { var index = getSelectedTabIndex(); $("#tabs").tabs("remove", index) } function getSelectedTabIndex() { return $("#tabs").tabs('option', 'selected'); } function RefershList() { $('#frmPeopleList').submit(); } &lt;div id="tabs"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have links that call this similar to below</p> <pre><code> &lt;input id="btnAddTab" type="button" onclick="addTab('Add Person','&lt;%= Url.Action("Create", "People") %&gt;')" value='Add New Person' /&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong> Generated HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="tabs" class="ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all"&gt; &lt;ul class="ui-tabs-nav ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-all"&gt;
