Can jquery tabs return back to same tab once I update the form?

Hi I am facing the same issue I have tabs but need a way modify the code so it returns us to the current tab. I don't see anything in Dan's profile that would allow me to contact him. If Dan or anyone else can help me  would appreciate it. 

My code is 

var markup = "";    markup += "<ul>";
    $("#formContents div.sectionDiv").each(function(index){
      markup += "<li><a href='#tab_" + (index+1) + "'>" + $("span.sectionTitle",this).text() + "</a></li>";
    });
    markup += "</ul>";

$("#formContents").prepend(markup);

    $("#formContents div.sectionDiv").each(function(index){
      $(this).attr("id","tab_" + (index+1));
      $("div:lt(2)",this).hide();
    });

  $("#formContents").tabs();
