I have a selection of tabs which are holding my sites information, i.e. home, services, contact, etc etc..
HTML:
<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="country1" class="selected">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country2">Hiring Process</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country3">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country4">Why Choose Us?</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country5">Links</a></li> //added this tab after..
<li><a href="#" rel="country6">Contact</a></li> //added this tab after..
<li><a href="http://www.sbdesign.co.nr">SBDesign</a></li>
</ul>
And then I have <div id="country1" class="tabcontent">my tabs content...</div> for each, using the corresponding tab ID, in my HTML.
Works just fine for the first 4 tabs (and the link tab at the end), but for some reason I cant link the 5th and 6th tabs that I added afterwards.. I can get them to link to the (external) CSS and they have the necessary effects, i.e. 'li a.selected', 'li a.hover'... this lead me to believe its something in my javascript? I've looked but my level of expertise isn't great.
I've gave the new tabs a 'rel' like I presumed I had to (calling them 'country5' and 'country6', thinking they'd follow..) because I thought thats what the jscript looks for, yet I cant link them. It says it links in relation to the previous tab? Can anyone tell me how I can fix this? :confused:

Do I need to change a variable?
If someone could point out where I needed to change something I'd be very grateful :o
