Question

I use this script to enable tabs.

$(function() {
    // setup ul.tabs to work as tabs for each div directly under div.panes
    $("ul.tabs").tabs("div.panes > div.theme-wrap", {
    effect: 'fade',
    //fadeInSpeed: 200,
    fadeOutSpeed: 400,
    rotate: true
    }).slideshow({autoplay: true, interval: 5000});
});

The problem is that.. I want the PARENT div (.theme-wrap) inside panes to rotate only. Because theme-wrap contains DIVs itself. Problem is that when i click anywhere in the .theme-wrap DIV the tab is switched .. but I want to disable that.

Even the demo:
http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/tabs/slideshow.htm

It rotates when you click anywhere on the slideshow element. I want to disable that behaviour please because I have clickable links inside each slideshow element and I want rotation to be applied only with “autoplay” if the mouse is outside the slideshow container.

Is that possible?

Thank you very much.

The answer was in the documentation for the slideshow:

$(function() {
    $("ul.tabs").tabs("div.panes > div.theme-wrap", {
        effect: 'fade',
        //fadeInSpeed: 200,
        fadeOutSpeed: 400,
        rotate: true
    }).slideshow({autoplay: true, interval: 5000, clickable: false});
});

You have to pass “clickable: false” to the slideshow. The jQuery Tools plugin has good documentation, you should look there first for any other questions you might have.
