IE family problem with jcarousels injected via ajax

Guys,
Unfortunately my problem here is that this is a first big commercial contract for me, so I’m not at liberty to show you the code, but wondered if we could speak in generalities…

On the page I’m doing there’s a tabbed container. As the tabs are clicked we make an ajax call to pull html content (basically jcarousels) into a container div below the tabbed container. On all other browsers this works ok, but the IE family struggle…

When the page loads initially the dimensions of the carousel are determined by jcarousel itself, it is rendered and the variables containing it’s dimensions are then destroyed. The first time we visit a tab (not counting the first tab & carousel, which are rendered when the page loads), we get a message from webpage:

jCarousel: No width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting…

Either something is looking for them before jcarousel can re-calculate, or jquery requires something from the main page which is not reloaded…

That’s the best I can come up with… does anyone have any ideas…??

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Jim
