Links do not redirect to Jquery Tabs

Question

I have 4 links as

<li><a class="open-tab" href="#sirkethesaptab">Şirket Hesabı</a></li>
<li><a class="open-tab" href="#musterihesaptab">Müşteri Hesabı</a></li>
<li><a class="open-tab" href="#odemetab">Ödemeler</a></li>
<li><a class="open-tab" href="#harcamatab">Harcamalar</a></li>
<li><a class="open-tab" href="#personeltab">Personel</a></li>

And i have a Jquery tab

<div class="col-sm-9 padding-right">
    <div id="tab-container2" class='tab-container'>
        <ul class='etabs'>
            <li class='tab'><a href="#sirkethesaptab">Şirket Hesabı</a></li>
            <li class='tab'><a href="#musterihesaptab">Müşteri Hesabı</a></li>
            <li class='tab'><a href="#odemetab">Ödemeler</a></li>
            <li class='tab'><a href="#harcamatab">Harcamalar</a></li>
            <li class='tab'><a href="#personeltab">Personel</a></li>
        </ul>
        <div class='panel-container'>
            <div id="sirkethesaptab">
                <h2>sirkethesaptab</h2>
            </div>
            <div id="musterihesaptab">
                <h2>musterihesaptab</h2>
            </div>
            <div id="odemetab">
                <h2>odemetab</h2>
            </div>
            <div id="harcamatab">
                <h2>harcamatab</h2>
            </div>
            <div id="personeltab">
                <h2>personeltab</h2>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Jquery Codes

$('#tab-container2').tabs({
    active: $.cookie('activetab'),
    activate: function (event, ui) {
        $.cookie('activetab', ui.newTab.index(), {
            expires: 10
        });
    }
});

$('.open-tab').click(function (event) {
    var tab = $(this).attr('href');
    alert(tab);
    $('tab-container2').tabs('select', tab);
});

I want to redirect to necessary tab when i click to these external links above and when i click to any of these links, browser's adress bar changes but there is no redirection. How can fix this problem ? Any help would be appreciated.

So, it's a silly mistake I guess as you have a missing # in your selector within the .open-tab click function.

$('.open-tab').click(function (event) {
    var tab = $(this).attr('href');
    alert(tab);
    $('#tab-container2').tabs('select', tab); // <- added #
});

-Demo-

Note: The select option has been removed from jQuery UI v1.10+. You must use .tabs('active', <tabIndex>) if at all you plan to use 1.10+
