If you insert tabs or slides in your content items and see them break apart on your website, try this: Check the page source and see if you can find any html tags that are not "properly closed" in your content, mainly any <p> tags. This might be a common issue when your content is not properly formatted -perhaps after copied from a Microsoft Word document- so the best thing when applying tabs/slides in your content is:
1. Make sure your content is clean from any Word or other bad markup. Use Notepad as an intermediate clean up method when copy-pasting your documents to Joomla.
2. Make sure that when you press "enter" in your content, the editor does not output a <p> tag, but a simple, plain, good ol' <br /> (break tag). In the editor's parameters, there is always such an option.
3. Insert the "tabs" or "slides" plugin strings (mambot strings). If you still encounter layout inconsistencies or broken tabs or slides, then some html tag in your text is to blame for sure!
If for some reason you don't see the "tabs" or "slides" at all, although the plugin is published, make sure you have disabled Joomla! cache. The cache is actually problematic only with the "Frontpage Component" (core component - com_frontpage), cause it fails to load code needed from some 3PD plugins in the HEAD tag of the template. If you don't use this plugin with com_frontpage, then you can enable Joomla! caching.
