We can make use of the enable or disable methods to programmatically enable or disable specific tabs. This will effectively switch on any tabs that were initially disabled or disable those that are currently active.

<script>
$(document).ready(function($){

});
$("#disable").click(function() {
$("#myTabs").tabs("disable", 1);
});
});
