title: jQuery Validate on Tab change
body: <p>I am working with jQuery Validate and Tabs plugins. I wish to validate a particular tab when the user attempts to move away from the tab to one of the other 2 tabs. Does anyone have experience with this particular method?</p>
  
  <p>Currently, this is how I bind the Tabs plugin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   $(function() {
        //Bind Link Tab Selection
        //------------------
        var $tabs = $("#tabs").tabs();
         $('#step1_button').click(function() {
            $tabs.tabs('select','2');
            return false;
         });
         $('#step2_button').click(function() {
            $tabs.tabs('select','3');
            return false;
         });
         //------------------
         //------------------
  
         //Bind Tabs
         //------------------
         $("#tabs").tabs({
            fx: {width:'toggle'}
         });
         //------------------
         //------------------
      });
  </code></pre>
