tabs placement

[droidus]

i have an issue with my tabs container not being properly placed in the page content div holder.  here is an image of what it looks like.

how can i change this, so it works?

code:

<div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background-color:#FF9; padding:15px; width:75%;">
<p>
<ul id="menu">
		<li class="active"><a href="#description">Inbox</a></li>
		<li><a href="#usage">Sent</a></li>

		<li><a href="#download">Compose</a></li>
	</ul>
	<div id="description" class="content">
		<h2>Inbox</h2>

	</div>
	<div id="usage" class="content">
		<h2>Tab Two</h2>

	</div>

  <div id="download" class="content">
<h2>Compose</h2>
		<a href="http://mywebsite.com/uploader/compose.php">Compose a message here</a>.</div>

	<script type="text/javascript">

		$(document).ready(function () {
			$('#menu').tabify();
		});

		// ]]>
	</script>

Try deleting that unnecessary <p> tag.

Can you post a link to page where we can look at it with firebug...?

 

Do you have any other styles applied to the HTML Element that we see in your code?

 

It hard to understand what exactly you want done with your description.
