title: Selecting a jQuery Tab using a parameter in the URL
body: <p>I am currently investigating replacing the tabs provided by a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Struts" rel="noreferrer">Struts</a> 1 tag library with the tabs provided by jQuery UI. I have successfully managed to get the tabs integrated with the existing application but I am struggling on how to set the selected tab using a parameter on the incoming URL, that is myurl.com/action.do?selectedTab=SecondTab.</p>
  
  <p>I am a newcomer to JavaScript and jQuery; what are some pointers on where to start?</p>
