title: loading flot chart in jquery tab workaround doesn't completely fix the issue
body: <p>there is known issue with loading a flot chart in a jquery tab that is not the initial visible tab here:</p>
  
  <p>this was asked here:
  <a href="http://osdir.com/ml/jQuery/2009-06/msg02284.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://osdir.com/ml/jQuery/2009-06/msg02284.html</a></p>
  
  <p>and answered with this solution:</p>
  
  <pre><code> .tabs-hide {
   /*display: none;*/
    position: absolute;
   left: -10000px;
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>there is still some issues with this solution.  </p>
  
  <p>Lets say that the tab name that the flot chart is on is called #tab-1.  jquery tabs put this in the URL string so this will work initially when you load up but if you try to send someone the URL with the #tab-1 (or any tab name in the URL) in the link, the chart will not be visible.  has anyone seen a solution that always works including the case where the tab may be in the url as well.</p>
