$(function () {
 $("#tabmenu").tabs("#content", {
   effect: 'ajax',
   current: 'active',
   initialIndex: 1
 });
}); 

Change your code from that above to that below.

$("#tabmenu").tabs("#content", {
  effect: 'ajax',
  current: 'active',
  initialIndex: 1
});

I guess it can't fire your tabs because the DOM, in this very moment, is loading.
