jqueryUI example fails on Edge browser

jqueryUI example fails on Edge browser

I have implemented the jqueryui tab feature on a key page of my web site and it has worked in the past when I developed the page.  I needed to make a minor revision and see now in my testing that it fails with the Edge browser.   I went back and copied the sample code to see if there was something in my implementation that was causing it to fail, but the sample also fails now.

I am testing on Apache 24, Windows 10 (Anniversary update + more updates) which has Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0 &  Microsoft EdgeHTML 14.14393.

I need either a workaround or alternative to get this page working again.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
