The automatic Next/Prev links ( https://css-tricks.com/2361-jquery-ui-tabs-with-nextprevious/ ) seems to work great, but I’ve discovered that something is wrong with it: the script only works if the IDs of your fragments (tab panels) end with numbers. Remove the numbers and the Prev/Next links simply do not work correctly. The jQuery .size() function doesn’t actually seem to be determining the number of tabs.
Example:
Works fine:

Broken:

If you look at the DOM in Firebug or Web Inspector you can see that that “rel” attributes are not correct.
