  <p>I've tried various jQuery and JavaScript tabbed menus but they conflict with the java controlling the background image sizer (I've inherited the site trying to fix someone else's work)</p>
  
  <p>this is the css:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#tabs {margin: 10px auto;min-height: 250px; width: 560px;position: relative}
