I tried to modify the tabs demo in the jquery 1.8b release to simply take the content from a remote URL reference, see below for Tab 3:-

   <li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab 1</a></li>
   <li><a href="ajax/1.html">Tab 2</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://www.netfm.org/docs/VERSION.txtl" title="test div">Tab 3</a></li>

Tab 3 fails to load the "VERSION.txtl" content which is available from URL location given in the href.

I am completely missing the point with ajax tabs ?

thx for the help - dave
