Is there a way to keep a jQuery selected tab, after the page is refreshed?

Question

I have a screen that uses jQuery tabs and was wondering if somehow I can keep the selected tab after a refresh of the page (JS .reload();)?

Any guidance appreciated.

Example for jquery.cookies.2.2.0.js

$(document).ready(function () {
   var initialTabIndex = 0;
   var jCookies = jQuery.cookies;

   //alert('getting ' + jCookies.get("currentTab"));

   if(jCookies.get("currentTab") != null){
      initialTabIndex = jCookies.get("currentTab");
   }

   $('#tabs').tabs({
      activate : function(e, ui) {
         //alert('setting ' + ui.newTab.index());
         jCookies.set("currentTab", ui.newTab.index().toString());
      },
      active : initialTabIndex
   });
});
