How to hyperlink to particular spry panel tab

Question

I have spry panel which has 3 tabs. Everythings works fine.
When I load the page which has spry panel, the content of the
first tab is shown which is fine.
Now I am trying to make a link from another page which points
to the page which has spry panel. I can easily put the link but
what I want to do is when the link is clicked I was show the
content of third tab instead of the first tab. How do I do this?
Can someone please help me?

Meant to do? Meant to do anything you can get it to do
Put this in the head of your document:
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
  var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
  for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args[i]+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
</script>
Link the SpryURLUtils.js per the first line in my quoted code.
The second script bit above calls the variable and sets up a function. Don't mess with it, just use it.
You'll have material like this in the foot of your page, just before the closing body tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 0});
var Accordion2 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion2", {defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 0});
var Accordion3 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion3", {defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 0});
//-->
</script>
These help to make your widgets work. Don't worry if you don't have what I have exactly; I copied this from one of my sites. But the
var TabbedPanels1 = etc. etc. line you WILL have. You will also have a second one if you have TWO sets of tabbed panels on your page. The first should be TabbedPanels1, the second will be TabbedPanels2, etc., etc.
Here's a quote from my site, showing a "call" or link to widgets in other parts of the page. I set my whole site (except more recent pages) as ONE page, so this should be similar to how you set up your call:
<div class="image_gallery">      <a href="?tab=5&amp;panel=3#TabbedPanelsTab&amp;Accordion1" title="Disappeared Children" target="_self"><img src="images/homeArgentina.gif" alt="Argentina website" /></a><br />
      <em>Website (early project):<br />
      &ldquo;Disappeared Children: We Search for Them&rdquo;</em></div>
Note the <a href... tag. You don't need a page name, because you are staying on the same page. But this calls tab 5 AND panel 3. If you look at my page www.gravenimagedesign.net, look for the fourth image from the left on the top row on the "home" screen. Click on it, and see where it takes you.
Remember that all is based on zero being the first tab, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Oops, gotta go. Let me know if you need more help with this. It is something that I have to dig back into my own code to remember.
Best,
