You'll want to read:
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.6/Tabs
At the bottom there is a section called "...my slider, Google Map,
etc. not work when placed in a hidden (inactive) tab?".
As the docs state:
Any component that requires some dimensional computation for its
initialization won't work in a hidden tab, because the tab panel
itself is hidden via display: none so that any elements inside won't
report their actual width and height (0 in most browsers).
Hope that helps.
