Hello,

I am having trouble getting the built in jquery tabs working on my site. I'm not really sure what the issue is. I have basically taken the code directly from the demo page that comes with jquery and copied it to my own site (obviously making the paths correct), however it refuses to work and I really can't see where the issue is. I'm failing to see why it is not working. If anyone could take a quick look at my code and see if they see anything obvious I would greatly appreciate it:

A: 

Use Firefox+Firebug to debug your javascript. Enable the console and Javascript debugging and see if you have any Javascript errors.

Also, download something like Charles HTTP Debugging Proxy and verify your included Javascript files are indeed loading and are not 404.

Btw, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you're using jQueryUI, not just vanilla jQuery.

I remember having a heck of a time getting tabs to work. Show us the whole file. Looks like you've cut off the bottom because I don't see that all your <div> tags are closed with </div> tags. Is your page validating?

Also, can you fix your indentation so that your HTML is easier to understand? Your </ul> doesn't match with its corresponding <ul>.

From what I can see you are loading ui.core.js after ui.tabs.js;

Since ui.tabs depends on things in ui.core, this might be the cause of your problem.

Hope this helps!
