    Default Help with Tab Content Script

    Script: DD Tab Content Script
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tabcontent.htm

    Hi. I'm having troubles getting this script to work for some reason. So hopefully, someone can help me. I have a webpage on Angelfire and I have used this script before with no problems. Now, the last few times I have tried, when I click on a tab link it doesn't display the text below like it is suppose to, it goes to the webpage which the tab is linked to. Even when I don't even mess with the script and just copy and paste it like DD says, it doesn't work. Here is the html :

    <html>
    <head>
    <style type="text/css">

    #tablist{
    padding: 3px 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-top: 0.1em;
    font: bold 12px Verdana;
    }

    #tablist li{
    list-style: none;
    display: inline;
    margin: 0;
    }

    #tablist li a{
    padding: 3px 0.5em;
    margin-left: 3px;
    border: 1px solid #778;
    border-bottom: none;
    background: white;
    }

    #tablist li a:link, #tablist li a:visited{
    color: navy;
    }

    #tablist li a.current{
    background: lightyellow;
    }

    #tabcontentcontainer{
    width: 400px;
    /* Insert Optional Height definition here to give all the content a unified height */
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    }

    .tabcontent{
    display:none;
    }

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    </html>

    And if you'd like to view the actual webpage, here it is:

    I've come across this before. The way the script is currently written, it actually requires you use the 'optional' persistence unit. You can set its options to false to disable it but, without it the script won't work.
