    _showTab: function($this) {
        var $span = $this.children('span.ui-icon');
        var $div = $this.next();
        var options = this.options;
        $this.removeClass('ui-state-default ui-corner-all').addClass('ui-state-active ui-corner-top');
        $span.removeClass('ui-icon-triangle-1-e').addClass('ui-icon-triangle-1-s');
