  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function tabload() {
      $('.tab li:first-child').addClass('selected');
  
      $(".tab ul").css({ 'position': 'absolute', 'visibility': 'hidden', 'display': 'block'});
  
      var h = $(".tab ul").outerHeight(true);
  
      $(".tab ul").css("height", h);
  
      $(".tab ul").css({'position': 'relative', 'visibility': 'visible', 'display': 'none' });
  };
