title: How can I make a tab active on load
body: <p>I'm using jquery to create a tab-based featured content area on my website - <a href="http://www.gregmalkin.co.uk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.gregmalkin.co.uk</a> -  but am having trouble getting the first tab to be 'active' on load, and then the active state to change to the selected tab when it auto changes.</p>
  
  <p>When I click on a tab it becomes active, but I want them to be set as active automatically.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance!</p>
