title: jQuery UI tabs disable tab navigation
body: <p>I tried to disable tab navigation using</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $tabs = $("#tabs").tabs({
      select: function(event, ui) { return false; }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this also disables the flow links I'm using for navigation:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('input.nexttab').click(function() {
      var tab_num = $tabs.tabs('option', 'selected');
      // error check this tab before proceeding
      if ( check_tab(tab_num) ) {
          $tabs.tabs('select', tab_num + 1 );
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ideally, I'd want to disable tab navigation for tabs to right of current tab, and ensure my &lt;&lt;prev and next&gt;&gt; tab navigation buttons always work.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
