Question

I’m using Joshua Gatcke’s 99Lime HTML Kickstart framework for prototyping.
It uses an implementation of the jQuery tabs and I was wondering if it’s possible to access a tab directly by the URL.

So for example, I have a page, with in this case, static content.
One is #settings and another is #users.
I want to redirect a user to /dashboard#users and have the users tab display immediately.

Is this something that’s possible?

Voilá:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(window).bind('hashchange', function(){
        $('ul.tabs a[href^="' + document.location.hash + '"]').click();
    });

    if (document.location.hash.length) {
        $(window).trigger('hashchange');            
    }
})​;​

Working fiddle

Edit:

Upon reading your question thoroughly, I realized that this is all you need:

$(document).ready(function(){
    if (document.location.hash.length) {
        $('ul.tabs a[href^="' + document.location.hash + '"]').click();
    }
})​;​
