jquery UI Tab not scrolling with container

Viewed 3171

Setup :

I have a containing div which is meant to be scrollable. This is a container for my jquery ui tab div.

Problem:

When I scroll the container in IE8 it scrolls other content in it but the jquery UI tab is fixed as though position=fixed. Works fine in FF. Any help welcome. Many thanks

CSS:

#content {
    overflow:auto;
    margin: 1px;
    height: 700px;
}

div.content-container {
    border: solid 1px #C8C8C8;
    padding:10px;
    background-color: #F5F3E5;
    margin: 1px 2px 10px 1px;
}

js:

$('#tabs').tabs();

html:

<div id="content">
    <div class="content-container">
        <div id="tabs">
         </div>
    </div>
</div>

Try following:

Define the height of container as:

.content_container_1    {max-width: 400px;  width: 'auto'; height: 550px;  margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px; } 
  
/*  Tabs  
--------------------------------------------------- */
#tabs li { text-align:center;font:normal 10px; font-family: "Segoe UI", Arial, Sans-serif; } 
#tabs p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; } 
#tabs .tabs_img {     float: left;     background-color: #aaa;       margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; }
.ui-state-active, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-active, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-active { border: 1px solid #336666; background: #32646b url(images/ui-bg-1.png) 50% 50% repeat-x; font-weight: bold; color: #fff; }
#tabs {height: 100%; overflow: 'auto';}
