get the title of a tab?

[jpierce]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the title of a tab, for example the selected tab (though it could be any tab).  There appears to be no function to do it.  All I can think of is some kludge where I keep track of all the tab names independently of the tabs.  Is there some other way?  If not, can this be added?

To get the tab panel's title, the tab panel object should be retrieved first and then call panel's 'options' method to get its 'title' property.

Code:

var p = $('#tt').tabs('getSelected');  // get the selected tab panel
var title = p.panel('options').title;
alert(title);
