Jquery ui tools - tab panes all showing at once

Question

I'm using Jquery tools for my tabs - something's gone wrong which I don't know (as everything was working) .. all the panels are being displayed at once for some reason... here is the code:

<div id="form">
     <ul class="tabs">
        <li><a href="#"><%= GetResourceString( "TabHeaderBasic" ) %></a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><%= GetResourceString( "TabHeaderDetailed" ) %></a></li>
     </ul>

     <div class="panes">              
        <div class="pane">
           <h2><%= GetResourceString( "PersonalInfoHeader" ) %></h2>
           <%= this.TextBox( x => x.FirstName ).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35).Required() %>
           <%= this.TextBox( x => x.LastName ).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35).Required() %>
           <%= this.ValidationMessage( x => x.LastName ) %>
           <%= this
                 .Select( x => x.Gender )
                 .LocalizedLabel()
                 .LocalizedTitle()
                 .Options( ViewModel.GenderOptions )
                 .Selected(ViewModel.Gender.ToString())
                 .FirstOption("", "Not Specified")
                 .Required() %><br />
           <%= this.DateTextBox( x => x.DateOfBirth ).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Required() %>
           <%= this.ValidationMessage( x => x.DateOfBirth  ) %>

           <h2><%= GetResourceString( "AccountDetailsHeader" ) %></h2>
           <%= this.TextBox( x => x.EmailAddress ).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35).Required() %>

           <% if ( ViewModel.IsExistingUser ) { %>
              <%= this.Password(x => x.OldPassword).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35)%>
           <% } %>

           <%= this.Password(x => x.Password).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35)%><br />
           <%= this.Password(x => x.PasswordConfirmation).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle().Size(35)%><br />
           <span class="row">
           <%= this.CheckBox( x => x.AgreesToTermsAndConditions ).LocalizedLabelAfter() %>
           </span><br />
           <% if ( !ViewModel.IsExistingUser ) { %>
              <%= this.CheckBox( x => x.AgreesToTermsAndConditions ).LocalizedLabelAfter().Required() %>
              <%= this.ValidationMessage( x => x.AgreesToTermsAndConditions ) %>
              <%= Html.GenerateCaptcha() %>
              <%= this.ValidationMessage( x => x.CaptchaValid ) %>
           <% } %>

           <p>
              <% if ( ViewModel.IsExistingUser ) { %>
                 <%= this.SubmitButton( GetResourceString( "ButtonSubmitEdit" ) ).Class( "register btn" ) %>
              <% } else { %>
                 <input type="button" class="next btn" value="<%= GetLocalResourceObject("ButtonNext") %>" />
                 <%= this.SubmitButton( GetResourceString("ButtonSubmitBasic") ).Class( "register btn" )%>
              <% } %>
           </p>
        </div>

        <div class="pane">
           <h2><%= GetResourceString( "AddressHeader" ) %></h2>

           <% Html.RenderPartial( "EditAddress", ViewModel.Address ); %>

           <span class="row">
              <%= this.CheckBox( x => x.OnlyShowLocalEvents ).LocalizedLabelAfter().LocalizedTitle() %>
           </span><br />                  

           <h2>Other Details</h2>
           <%= this.TextBox( x => x.PhoneNumber ).LocalizedLabel().LocalizedTitle() %>

           <p>
              <% if ( ViewModel.IsExistingUser ) { %>
                 <%= this.SubmitButton( GetResourceString( "ButtonSubmitEdit" ) ).Class( "register btn" ) %>
              <% } else { %>
                 <input type="button" class="previous btn" value="<%= GetLocalResourceObject("ButtonPrevious") %>" />
                 <%= this.SubmitButton( GetResourceString( "ButtonSubmit" ) ).Class( "register btn" ) %>
              <% } %>
           </p> 
        </div>
     </div>
  </div>

If you are seeing all of the tab panes at the same time, it may be that you didn't include the stylesheets defined in the 'ui.core.css' file that came with the UI.

This file should be in the same directory as 'ui.tabs.css', which is where the rest of the ".ui-tabs" styles were defined. It may be easier to just use 'ui.all.css'
