string evaluation for active option

[AthosXtreme]

tabs does support string for index parameter in active option. why accordion does not?
e.g.:

$(".tabs").tabs("option", "active", "2"); //this works
$(".accordion").accordion("option", "active", "2"); //this doesn't work

_findActive function requires number type, can it be improved?

The docs are pretty clear that you shouldn't be using a string for either one. When a number is expected, you should be providing a number, not a string.
