The best woud be if you could just have a look at this site I'm currently developping.
http://maroc.visages-trekking.com/beta/randonnee-ski-rando.php access with login 'zorba' / password 'kazantzakis' As you see there is a list of items into tabs, each item linking to a 'product' page wich also contains tabs. This version uses Tabs 2.7, but I had some trouble with IE7 and Clear Type fonts, so I decided to upgrade. The following page now uses UI tabs 3.0, then as soon as the page is loading, it also loads the html of the first 'product page' linked http://maroc.visages-trekking.com/beta/randonnee-trekking-voyage-desert.php I hope you unterstand now why I'd like to disable auto detect or auto loading, Maybe this could be an option {remote:disable} , or I can change a couple of lines in your great code? Thank you very much Thierry PS I do not guarantee bug or css fixes in IE at the moment ;)
