You have a few problems.

The first is a stray ); in your code:

if($('.errortd', this).not(':hidden').length>0){
    $("#tabs").tabs('select', i);                                              
}); // <------ Right here

Then you're using :hidden when you shouldn't be. From the fine manual:

Elements can be considered hidden for several reasons:
[...]

• An ancestor element is hidden, so the element is not shown on the page.

That means that the <label> will always be considered hidden if it is in a non-current tab.

You could do something like this:

var $shown = $(this).find('.errortd').filter(function() {
    var dpy = $(this).css('display');
    return !dpy || dpy != 'none';
});
if($shown.length > 0)
    $("#tabs").tabs('select', i);

Or, add a class to the <label> elements that hides them instead of manually hiding them. You have a bit of CSS like this:

.no-error {
    display: none;
}

And then:

if($(this).find('.errortd:not(.no-error)').length > 0)
    $("#tabs").tabs('select', i);
