EDIT: 1

The following does not work, even after clearing browser cache:

.ui-state-hover {background-image:none;background-color:red;color:red;padding:50px;margin:50px;}

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

Using jquery’s ui theme api, I am trying to change the hover effect of jquery-ui-tabs:

.ui-state-hover {background-color:red;color:red;padding:50px;}

Here is the full script:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <link type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> 
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $( "#tabs" ).tabs();
        });
    </script>

    <style type="text/css">
        .ui-state-hover {background-color:red;color:red;padding:50px;}
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
        <p>Proin elit arcu, rutrum commodo, vehicula tempus, commodo a, </p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
        <p>Morbi tincidunt, dui sit amet facilisis feugiat, odio metus </p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-3">
        <p>Mauris eleifend est et turpis. Duis id erat. Suspendisse potenti. </p>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

But it does not seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

    you need to be more specific because “.ui-state-default” with additional class hierarchy in the external css overrides your css.

    change .ui-state-default {background:red;color:red;padding:50px;} to 

    #tabs .ui-state-default {background:red;color:red;padding:50px;}

    and background:red instead of background-color:red because there is an background image

    see demo http://jsfiddle.net/aX5c9/
