See also http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/ticket/2470 for patch (probably outdated) and some specification ideas.

Based on original work from Mike Dalessio:

http://flavoriffic.blogspot.com/2008/05/jquery-ui-and-closable-tabs.html

I made the following patches to include close buttons for tabs in jQuery UI 1.7.2:

  • CSS file (added two !important)
  • JS file (extending _tabify and defaults, using code from the original author)

Please note that closable = 'selected' is not implemented as it was in the original code.

This feature worked well for me... but it doesn't play nicely with .tabs().add() as it is. It will append multiple closing anchors. I'm no expert but this worked for me:

    ...
    this.$lis.not(':has(a.' + o.closeAnchorClass + ')').each(function(){
    ...
