How do I get a JQuery UI accordion to work in a dynamically added tab?
I want it so that every time a new tab is created, it is created with a new accordion object in it.
Here is an example of code using basic tab examples off of the Jquery UI site, slightly modified to include a with an accordion with 2 sections in it.
As of right now the tabs work correctly, but inside the new tabs the accordion contents is shown as regular HTML, not as an accordion jquery object.
Thanks in advance.

You have to call .accordion() on the newly created element again after the new tab is appended to the DOM.
