The way we do it at work is to call ActivateTab() at the bottom of the php template like this:

<script language="javascript">
    ActivateTab(<?php echo $tab_id ?>);
</script>

Rob: how would i make it dynamic? like could i add an onclick even to the h1 tag that sets ActivateTab() to its number, incase the page is refreshed?

basically you do:
patch < dynamic_tabs_multi.patch

in the directory where the original dynamic tabs files are.

What do I do with the patch file, there seems to be bits everywhere and loads of @'s and +'s .

Is there some sort of program i use to interpret this file ?

emehrkay: the last line of tabs.js controls which tab is set to active.

i.e. ActivateTab(0); set's the first tab as active, but ActivateTab(1); would set the second tab as the active one.

Is there anyway to set an active tab? lets say you wanted a form in one tab and when the user presses submit, you want them to stay on that tab.
