Problems with jQuery tabs in IE

Problems with jQuery tabs in IE

Hello,

I have a rendering problem using jQuery tabs in ie7 that I hope someone can help out with:

The UI Version is: jQuery UI 1.8

Only in IE do the 'ies' characters in the word 'Categories' not get rendered.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

By the way browser versions are:
  • Firefox (3.6)  (renders fine)
  • Chrome (4.1.249.1045 (42898) (renders fine).
  • IE : 7.0.5730.13 (problem browser)
Here's the html (taken from the sample index.html file):


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>jQuery UI Example Page</title>
<link type="text/css" href="css/mint-choc/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
// Tabs
$('#tabs').tabs();
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
