JQuery UI Tabs not working

I am using the exact example below from the JQuery website using its built in tabs functions:

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(function() {
  $("#tabs").tabs();
 });
 </script>



<div class="demo">

<div id="tabs">
 <ul>
  <li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>
  <li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>
  <li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>
 </ul>
 <div id="tabs-1">
  <p>Proin elit arcu, rutrum commodo, vehicula tempus, commodo a, risus. Curabitur nec arcu. Donec sollicitudin mi sit amet mauris. Nam elementum quam ullamcorper ante. Etiam aliquet massa et lorem. Mauris dapibus lacus auctor risus. Aenean tempor ullamcorper leo. Vivamus sed magna quis ligula eleifend adipiscing. Duis orci. Aliquam sodales tortor vitae ipsum. Aliquam nulla. Duis aliquam molestie erat. Ut et mauris vel pede varius sollicitudin. Sed ut dolor nec orci tincidunt interdum. Phasellus ipsum. Nunc tristique tempus lectus.</p>
 </div>
 <div id="tabs-2">

 </div>
</div>

</div><!-- End demo -->

<div style="display: none;" class="demo-description">

<p>Click tabs to swap between content that is broken into logical sections.</p>

</div><!-- End demo-description -->

However, when I place the JQuery Accordian plugin anywhere in the tabs-1, tabs-2, or tabs-3 element, it stops working correctly, but it works fine in a normal page that doesn't use Jquery. Or any other Jquery doesn't seem to work as its in any of the tabs DIVs. Any ideas?

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(function() {
  $("#tabs").tabs();
 });
 </script>

is called before the elements even exist. so

either put it all at the bottom of your html just above the ""

or replace

 $("#tabs").tabs(); 

with

$(document).ready(function (){ $("#tabs").tabs(); });

What do your includes look like? Are the paths correct?

On a side note, I used JQuery UI Tabs in a project for a while, but replaced in with plain HTML/CSS after a while. Here is a great tutorial on writing CSS tabs. Not even javascript is required.

Sometimes these prepackaged components try to do too much but end up making a very simple task more complex than it needs to be.

It should work. I have made a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/nhAJz/

having the accordion nested in a tab. So it is probably a css issue, can you reproduce it using jsfiddle? so that we have exactly your accordion js and css markup?

I just finished this, you can use it at your use. It's not LI or UI Tabs, but it's the same function, just in my own styling of things.

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#Tab1').click(function () {
    $('#TheStreets').hide();
    $('#DownTown').hide();
    $('#Underground').fadeIn(300);
    $('#Tab1').removeClass('NonCurrentTab').addClass('CurrentTab');
    $('#Tab2').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
    $('#Tab3').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
});
$('#Tab2').click(function () {
    $('#Underground').hide();
    $('#DownTown').hide();
    $('#TheStreets').fadeIn(300);
    $('#Tab1').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
    $('#Tab2').removeClass('NonCurrentTab').addClass('CurrentTab');
    $('#Tab3').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
});
$('#Tab3').click(function () {
    $('#Underground').hide();
    $('#TheStreets').hide();
    $('#DownTown').fadeIn(300);
    $('#Tab1').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
    $('#Tab2').removeClass('CurrentTab').addClass('NonCurrentTab');
    $('#Tab3').removeClass('NonCurrentTab').addClass('CurrentTab');
});
});
