JQuery :: Tabs Library Setup - Search Current Selected DIV

I'm using this jQuery tabs library that uses this simple set up...
<!-- the tabs -->
<ul class="tabs">
<li><a href="#">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tab 3</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- tab "panes" -->
<div class="panes">
<div>pane 1 content</div>
<div>pane 2 content</div>
<div>pane 3 content</div>
</div>

So clicking tab 1 loads the contents of the first DIV, tab 2 second DIV, etc. I have a different image map that loads into each of the separate DIVs. I have set up a search box that allows me to enter a value that matches an ALT value of one of the <area> tags and then using the scrollTo library, scrolls to that value using the coordinates provided in the <area> tag. Currently I have this working when I manually enter the DIV's class into the script:

<div>
<input id="search" name="targetId" value="" />
<button type="button" id="searchButton" name="searchButton">Search</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#searchButton').click(function(){

var id = $('#search').val();
var elem = document.getElementById(id);
if (elem) {
var parts = $(elem).attr('coords').split(',');
parts = $.map(parts, parseInt);
$('div.fms1').scrollTo({ left:parts[0], top:parts[2] }, {duration:1000, axis:'x'});
}});
</script>

I'm trying to figure out how I can set up the search box to search the currently loaded DIV which is loaded depending on which tab is selected. I tried the following unsuccessfully:
$('div.'+$(this)).scrollTo({ left:parts[0], top:parts[2] }, {duration:1000, axis:'x'});
