I tried a test file which is working but this file isn’t. I also tried validating from w3c and it showed no errors. I also tried pasting
outside jquery ui tabs but still didn’t worked out. Could there be any conflict between plugins. And also when i gave absolute path for demo file it worked while relative path didn’t. Here’s the two file:
This one is working (demo file)-
<!DOCTYPE html>

There’s an example folder in the download you could use to start from, it shows a proper installation. Once that works, Lightview should work in the tabs as well.
Also keep in mind that all the Lightview related includes on your page are absolute, not relative like your other includes. So it could be that the files aren’t where you expect them to be.
