Using JQuery tools tooltips with UI tabs

Question

I'm trying to use the JQuery tools tooltips plugin in a site that I'm building for a scripting class. The problem is I'm using JQuery UI tabs for navigation in the site and apparently these two libraries don't work well together. When I load the site outside of the index page (the site that has the tabs) the tooltips plugin works fine, it's only when I load the page from the tabs that the tooltips stop working. This is how my index page is set up:

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="styles/mainStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="Styles/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />


<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#tabs').tabs();
});
</script>
</head>

<body>

<div class="container">

    <div id="tabs">
    <ul id="info-nav">
          <li><a href="home.html" title="home">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="product.html" title="products">Products</a></li>
          <li><a href="UIDesign.html" title="Order">Order</a></li>
          <li><a href="photos.html" title="FAQ">FAQ</a></li>
          <li><a href="feedback.html" title="About">About</a></li>
    </ul>

  <!-- end .container --></div>

  </div>
</body>
</html>

The page that I have the tool tips on is here:

<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/mainScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="styles/mainStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="Styles/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

the GTX 590 offers 50% faster performance than GTX 580 while nearly matching its 
little brother’s award winning acoustics.

Sorry for the amount of code, I tried to reduce it to where I think the problem is but it's proving to be quite a challenge. The thing I really don't understand about UI tabs is where I import scripts and styles, should it be on my index page or every page?

Answer 1

The problem is that jquery ui and jquery tools share the same tabs library. this cusses a conflict. if you download only the jquery tools without the tabs it should solve this problem.
