Customizing jquery UI tabs

I am using tab widget of jQuery UI. I want to change the color of active tab to yellow by using ui-tabs-active class as mentioned here in API docs

But despite of doing following:

<style type="text/css">
    .ui-tabs-active
    {
      background-color:yellow;
    }
</style>

Its color does not change. Here is the code at jsbin.com

Solution

  • You need to be a little more direct with your CSS. Also you need to remove the default image that resides there

    .ui-state-active, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-active, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-active {
      background-image: none;
      background-color:green;
    }
