jQuery - trapping tab select event

I'm a jQuery noob and I'm trying to figure out how to trap the tab selected event. Using jQuery 1.2.3 and corresponding jQuery UI tabs (not my choice and I have no control over it). It's a nested tab with the first level div name - tabs. This is how I initialized the tabs

$(function() {
       $('#tabs ul').tabs();
});

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#tabs ul').tabs('select', 0); 
});

I'm not able to figure out how to trap any of the events or properties (selected tab, when tab clicked, etc). Would appreciate any help on this...

I tried things like:

$('#tabs ul').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
    selectedTab = ui.index;
    alert('selectedTab : ' + selectedTab);
});

              (OR)

$('#tabs').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {

with no success.

Below is the markup

<div id="tabs">
<UL>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-1"><SPAN>Tab1</SPAN></A></LI>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-2"><SPAN>Tab2</SPAN></A></LI>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-3"><SPAN>Tab3</SPAN></A></LI>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-4"><SPAN>Tab4</SPAN></A></LI>
</UL>

<DIV id=fragment-1>
<UL>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-1a"><SPAN>Sub-Tab1</SPAN></A></LI>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-1b"><SPAN>Sub-Tab2</SPAN></A></LI>
    <LI><A href="#fragment-1c"><SPAN>Sub-Tab3</SPAN></A></LI>
</UL>
</DIV>
.
.
.

</DIV>

Solution

The correct method for capturing tab selection event is to set a function as the value for the select option when initializing the tabs (you can also set them dynamically afterwards), like so:

$('#tabs, #fragment-1').tabs({
  select: function(event, ui){
    // Do stuff here
  }
});

You can see the actual code in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/mZLDk/

Edit: With the link you gave me, I've created a test environment for jQuery 1.2.3 with jQuery UI 1.5 (I think?). Some things obviously changed from then. There wasn't a separate ui object which was separated from the original event object. The code looks something like this:

// Tab initialization
$('#container ul').tabs({
    select: function(event) {
        // You need Firebug or the developer tools on your browser open to see these
        console.log(event);
        // This will get you the index of the tab you selected
        console.log(event.options.selected);
        // And this will get you it's name
        console.log(event.tab.text);
    }
});

Phew. If there's anything to learn here, it's that supporting legacy code is hard. See the jsfiddle for more: http://jsfiddle.net/qCfnL/1/

Edit: For those who is using newer version of jQuery, try the following:

$("#tabs").tabs({
    activate: function (event, ui) {
        console.log(event);
    }
});
