UI Tabs - Hyperlinks in unordered list

UI Tabs - Hyperlinks in unordered list

Hello,
I am working on a Drupal site and one of our pages is using is using
UI Tabs. Each tab has content that contains a hyperlink to a webform
within the site (a separate page). The link is in two places within
the content, once in an unordered list <li> tag and once in a


tag.
The href points to the exact same url, however when you click the link
that is within the <li>, tabs tries to load the form within the tab
instead of going to the external page. This breaks the form and
shouldn't be happening. It's as if it wants to treat the links within
the <li> as Ajax content (I get the "Loading" message)
The link within the

tags work fine and goes to the external page.
There is no extra code within the function that calls the tabs that I
can see that would cause this to happen. Does anyone know of
something I might be overlooking. Perhaps a bug between Drupal and
jQuery? Google has not given many solutions yet.
I appreciate any help or advice anyone may have. Thanks in advance!
