ASYNC loaded Tabs in IE7 don't work

ASYNC loaded Tabs in IE7 don't work


jQuery UI 1.7.1 / IE7
1) ASYNC in a chunk of HTML with a list of anchors with #'s. (ex:
<li><a href="#step_1">Step 1</a></li>)
2) apply tabs
3) :(
It looks like there's a chunk of code in ui.tabs.js that is
specifically for this problem (lines 85-95) but it doesn't quite work.
If my domain is http://gpbmike.com and I'm on http://gpbmike.com/steps&param=value
the variables will be as follows:
hrefBase = http://gpbmike.com/
location.toString().split('#')[0] = http://gpbmike.com/steps&param=value
baseEl.href = http://gpbmike.com
So the if statement fails and the tabs aren't made.
For my stuff I added a / to the baseEl.href and it worked, but I'm not
sure if that's what should be done.
