jQuery Tabs: Turn off Animation

Question

I have a page with jquery tabs where I've tied a function to the show event. Apparently, by doing just this:

$(function() {
    $('#myTabs').tabs({ show: function() {} });    
});

it turns an animation effect on when switching between the tabs (http://jsfiddle.net/22unj/)

How do I go about turning that off without removing my show handler?

Answer 1

You can't. Option show is used to determine how to animate tabs. Maybe what you want is Method activate ?

$(function() {
    $('#myTabs').tabs({ activate: function() {doSomething();}, create: function() {doSomething();} });    

    function doSomething() {
        console.log('hello world!');
    }

});
