JQuery UI Tabs Causing Screen to “Jump”

Question

I\'m using the latest version of the jQuery UI tabs. I have tabs positioned toward the bottom of the page.

Every time I click a tab, the screen jumps toward the top

Answer 1

I had the same problem with jquery ui's menu - a preventDefault() on the anchor's click event stops the page from scrolling back to the top:

 $("ul.ui-menu li a").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
 });
