Pre-style it with appropriate classes, eg...

1. <div id='tabs' class='ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all'>
2.   <ul class='ui-tabs-nav ui-widget-header ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all'>
3.     <li class='ui-state-default ui-corner-top'><a href='#'><span>___</span></a></li>

...etc, etc

Adding on to wizzud's response, what you are seeing is a FOUC(flash of unstyled content) that happens when the browser renders the content before javascript has had a chance to add the styling classes. By adding the classes beforehand as mentioned by wizzud, you avoid the FOUC by styling the content prior to the browser rendering it.
