Spry tabbed panels

i have 3 tabs and a form with a submit button on each. When I click the button it wants to default to the first tab. I tried

<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Add Resource" disabled="true" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1)" />

but it only shows it for a split second then goes to the first tab again. How can I get it to stay put?

Thanks
