jQuery UI tabs and dialog

Question

How do you add jQuery ui tabs to a dialog box on click? Here is my code.

<p>
  <a href="#" class = "premium_payer">Premium Payer:</a> 
  <span data-bind = "text: movements_owner_fullname"  id = "movements_payer_fullname" >         </span>
</p>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $('a.premium_payer').click(function payerDialog(e){
    $("#premium_payer").html('').dialog();
    $("#premium_payer").append('<p>' + "Full name: " + payer_fullname + '</p>').dialog();
    $("#premium_ayer").append('<p>' + "ID Number: " + person_id + '</p>').dialog();
            e.preventDefault();
    });
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('a.premium_payer').click(function payerDialog(e){
            e.preventDefault();               
            var tabs = $("<div><ul><li><a href='#tab1'>tab1</a></li><li><a href='#tab2'>tab2</a></li></ul><div id='tab1'>Tab1 content</div><div id='tab2'>tab2 content</div></div>");
             $("#premium_payer").empty().append(tabs);
             $("#premium_payer").dialog();
             tabs.tabs();
        });
    });
</script>

EDIT if you want an existing element, hide this element with display: none.

 <div id="tabs" style="display:none">
      <ul>
             <li>
                   <a href='#tab1'>tab1</a>
              </li>
              <li>
                    <a href='#tab2'>tab2</a>
              </li>
      </ul>
      <div id='tab1'>Tab1 content</div>
      <div id='tab2'>tab2 content</div>
 </div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('a.premium_payer').click(function payerDialog(e){
            e.preventDefault();               
            var tabs = $("#tabs");
             $("#premium_payer").empty().append(tabs);
             $("#premium_payer").dialog();
             tabs.show();
             tabs.tabs();
        });
    });
</script>
