Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I am using WebFx Tab Pane as demonstrated in the URL. I've stripped the page down to the barebones so that you can see that on the first tab, a simple "test" text is displayed.

On the second tab is an iframe. In the previous version of Firefox, 1.07, I did not have any problems rendering the iframe once the focus was on the second tab.

With Firefox 1.5, it renders a blank page. If I switch back to the first tab, then back to the second tab, the iframe appears. The other work around is if I refresh the page. Tab Pane uses cookies to remember what tab you are on

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://leadmanager.aismedia.com/test.html
2. Click on 2nd tab which contains the iframe, returns blank.
3. Click on 1st tab, then back to 2nd tab, the iframe renders correctly.

Actual Results:  
It should generate a blank tab pane.

Expected Results:  
It should have rendered the iframe

I found this temporary work around:

Adding disposeAllTabs(); will fix the issue, but cause the page to load completely before drawing the tab.
