    You can use prev() and next() to check to see where the element is in relation to another. Try this:

    var $tab = $(".tab2");
if ($tab.prev(".active").length) {
    // tab2 is after the active tab
}
else if ($tab.next(".active").length) {
    // tab2 is before the active tab
}

    Using this method you an easily change the tab you want to inspect, and it doesn’t matter which tab has the active class on it.
