Tab select event not working for jQuery 1.8.3

Question

I am trying to get the tab select event fired for quite some time for the jQuery 1.8.3 but not sure why it can't. I fiddled with jsfiddle and have working mockups but when I apply those changes to my jquery file - it doesn't work.

The only way remains is to upgrade the version to newest but I would prefer not to introduce this change for now because we are in final stage of deployment to Prod.!

"activate" worked for me! As Kevin B mentioned for JQueryUI- 1.10 select event is no more!

$('#tabs').tabs({
    activate: function (event, ui) {

        alert("hi");
    } 
});
