Hi and thanks for your time.

After struggling to get a modal window dialog to both load a URL and theme correctly, I fixed it by realizing I'd scoped my theme.  Quick find-and-replace of the parent style class in the theme sheet fixed it and now my modal dialog - which loads a separate page - looks themed out just fine.

However, now - inexplicably - no tabs.  I've tried stripping the loaded URL of its references to the scripts, of its tab instantiation javascript, etc. to no avail.  I've tried instantiating the tabs from the launching page where the modal dialog is launched from.  Doesn't work.  

I can't get jquery tabs in a separate file (URL) loaded into a modal dialog to run.  I CAN get them to work loading that tab-containing page separately, standalone, in the browser.  What's the difference?

Going crazy here, losing so much time to whack-a-mole.  Appreciate the help.
