Question

in INDEX.PHP
my tabs are declared as:

$(function() {
            $( "#tabs" ).tabs({
                load: function(event, ui) {
                    console.log("load event ran");
                    $('a', ui.panel).live("click", function() {
                           $(ui.panel).load(this.href);
                           return false;
                           });
                   }

           });

        });

i have tabs liked to external php file to load content:

<div id="tabs">
            <ul>
              <li><a href="content.php?div=Production">Production</a></li>
              <li><a href="content.php?div=Digital">Digital</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>

the forms on these pages are submitted by ajax:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#Search_form").validate({
            debug: false,
            submitHandler: function(form) {
                $.post('search_db.php', $("#Search_form").serialize(), function(data) {
                    $('p.results').fadeIn();  
                    $('#results').html(data);
                });
            }
        });
    });

results are displayed within a tab, BUT browser doesn’t create vertical scrolling bar to view the content that didn’t fit in the browser window.

I understand this is s/t to do with multiple ajax functions inside each other, how can i force browser to review page content and create a scrollbar please?

P.S. I have only general understanding of jQuery and DOM functionality…

Try adding this to your css

.ui-tabs-panel {
     overflow:auto;
}

ps. sounds like your problem is only related to the stylesheet / styles and not jquery / script
