jQuery UI tabs is incorrect

Question

So, I'm using jQuery UI (with tabs) to be able to tab some content on my page. However, there is an wierd issue going on.

I have two tabs, "KR" and "O" - When i click on the "O" tab, i do get the correct content. How ever, if i click on the "KR" tab, i get both KR and O? Check the images below for review.

Here is the PHP/HTML Code,

                    <div id="right_side_menu">

                <div id="sub_menu">
                    <ul>
                        <?php if($money_type == TRUE) : ?><li><a href="#tab-coins"><span>Kr</span></a></li> <?php endif ?>
                        <?php if($tasks_type == TRUE) : ?> <li><a href="#tab-hours"><span>O</span></a></li> <?php endif ?>
                        <?php if($hours_type == TRUE) : ?> <li><a href="#tab-tasks"><span>T</span></a></li> <?php endif ?>
                    </ul>
                </div> <!-- end sub_menu -->

                <div class="clear"></div>

                <br />

                <div id="statistics">

                    <?php if($money_type == TRUE) : ?>

                        <div id="tab-coins">
                            <ul>
                                <li><span id="statistics_big"> <?php if($total_year_money == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_year_money; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Kroner totalt i år</span></li>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_medium"> <?php if($total_month_money == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_month_money; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Kroner denne måneden</span></li>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_small"> <?php if($total_highest_money == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_highest_money; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Høyest salg denne måneden</span></li>
                            </ul>
                        </div> <!-- end tab-coins -->

                    <?php endif ?>

                    <?php if($hours_type == TRUE) : ?> 

                        <div id="tab-hours">

                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_medium"> <?php if($total_month_hours == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_month_hours; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Timer denne måned</span></li>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_small"> <?php if($total_highest_hours == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_highest_hours; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Høyest antall timer denne måneden</span></li>
                            </ul>
                        </div> <!-- end tab-coins -->

                    <?php endif ?>

                    <?php if($tasks_type == TRUE) : ?>

                        <div id="tab-tasks">
                            <ul>
                                <li><span id="statistics_big"> <?php if($total_year_tasks == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_year_tasks; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Arbeidsoppgaver totalt i år</span></li>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_medium"> <?php if($total_month_tasks == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_month_tasks; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Arbeidsoppgaver denne måneden</span></li>
                                <div class="clear"></div>
                                <li><span id="statistics_small"> <?php if($total_highest_tasks == FALSE) { echo '0'; } else { echo $total_highest_tasks; } ?> </span><br><span class="statistics_underline">Høyest arbeidsoppgaver denne måneden</span></li>
                            </ul>
                        </div> <!-- end tab-coins -->

                    <?php endif ?>

                    <div class="clear"></div>

                </div>

            </div> <!-- end right side menu -->

And this is the live output,

<div id="right_side_menu">

                <div id="sub_menu">
                    <ul>

                <div class="clear"></div>

                <br />

                </div>

            </div> <!-- end right side menu -->

Javscript i use,

<script>
$(function() {
    $( "#right_side_menu" ).tabs();
});

</script>

Answer 1

First of all, try if you can get the tabs working with the most basic HTML:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#tabOne">One</a></li>
    <li><a href="#tabTwo">Two</a></li>
    <li><a href="#tabThree">Three</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabOne">One</div>
<div id="tabTwo">Two</div>
<div id="tabThree">Three</div>

I see there's some additional HTML around your tabs, that might be interfering.
Other than that, make absolutely sure you have all the "menu buttons" in your HTML.

Answer 2

i figured out.. you have a wrong tab id selector there

<li><a href="#tab-hours"><span>O</span></a>
            // -----^----- //here

you don't have a <div> with id = "tab-hours" .. (however i am stilll wondering how was the tab able to show you the other tab-tasks even though the id was wrong..)

anyways it should be

<li><a href="#tab-tasks"><span>O</span></a>
             --^-- here

and this is working
