    text
    copied!<p>I am using jQuery-UI Tabs vertically at <a href="http://hr.barton.s483.sureserver.com/tool_new1b.php" rel="nofollow">my site</a> and was having no issues until I started loading content in the tab panels and found that the parent tab panel div does not grow with the content, e.g. tab "Static Info". I can "fix" the issue by setting the parent div class CSS to <strong>overflow: auto</strong>, which then creates a vertical scrollbar on the parent div. However, I would really prefer if the parent div would just grow with the child content. I did try a couple of clearfix options, including:</p> <p><code>$( ".tabs" ).tabs().addClass( "ui-helper-clearfix" );</code> </p> <p>when intializing the document, but none of the clearfixes made any difference. As I was seeking solutions, I did try adjusting the heightStyle and tab refresh to see if either of those would make a difference. What I found was that this did nothing:</p> <p><code>$( ".tabs" ).tabs({ heightStyle: "fill" });</code> I also tried "content" and "auto" with also no luck.</p> <p>However, when I tried the alternative as documented at api.jquery.com/tabs:</p> <pre><code>var heightStyle = $( ".tabs" ).tabs( "option", "heightStyle" ); $( ".selector" ).tabs( "option", "heightStyle", "fill" ); </code></pre> <p>the tabs layout completely broke. The content was all there, but the ul list was at the top of the page with no tabs, followed by all the panel content. I got the same result with:</p> <p><code>$( ".tabs" ).tabs( refresh );</code> </p> <p>I did verify that my jQuery UI in general was working (e.g. I tried </p> <pre><code>$( ".tabs" ).tabs({ event: "mouseover" }); which worked fine. </code></pre> <p>This seems like it should be simple, but I've reached a relative dead end with CSS, and I don't understand what is going on with the jQuery- why it breaks with heightStyle and refresh. Any ideas or advice on getting my content to behave itself are very much appreciated... thanks!</p>
