I need to add custom css to jquery tabs when it is selected, how ?

I have a code to display a message when a tab is selected, but now I want to add a background image to the selected tab when it is being selected.

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $("#myTabs").bind("tabsselect", function(e, tab) {
        alert("The tab at index " + tab.index + " was selected");
    });
    $("#myTabs").tabs();
});
</script>

I think something like ($selected tab).css("background-image","url stuff.."); should work but I do not know the syntax for the currently selected tab.

Any Idea ?
