Item13602: JQuery::UI recursive loop opening tabs after a login redirect back to the page.

This is the somewhat innocuous looking topic:

---+ DO NOT LOGIN on this page!
---++ Probably will crash your browser.

%JQREQUIRE{"ui::tabs"}%
<div id="tabs" class="jqUITabs">
        <ul>
                <li><a href="#tabs-1">DO NOT LOGIN HERE!</a></li>
        </ul>
        <div id="tabs-1">
---+ DO NOT LOGIN on this page!
---++ Probably will crash your browser.
        </div>
</div>

If you visit the page, then click login, when the redirect returns, the page begins opening nested tabs. Have to close the window to stop it. As long as the page is not the target of a returning redirect, it appears to work fine.

This is a bug in jquery-ui reported 4 years ago (http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7822) ... which they don't fix being in state worksforme

Here's our super simple fix that worksforus.

This bug applies to every version of JQueryPlugin since jquery-1.8 was added.
