Tabs work fine in iframes, just look at http://jqueryui.com/tabs/ for proof.

In IE6 I see the problem here: http://jqueryui.com/tabs/

Local tabs in IE6 in an iframe are not detected as local because the isLocal( anchor ) function appears to use the outer ref rather than the one in the iframe. Since they are treated as remote tabs the tab content divs aren't hidden resulting in the content of tabs getting displayed one after another on the first tab.

I worked around this by modifying isLocal() to compare against the un-cloned node as well as the cloned one, but this doesn't address the original ie6 normalization killing problem.

function isLocal( anchor ) {
	// clone the node to work around IE 6 not normalizing the href property
	// if it's manually set, i.e., a.href = "#foo" kills the normalization
	// GS - This trick doesn't work when the tab control is in an iframe
	//      compare to original anchor too. 
	var anchor1 = anchor.cloneNode( false );
	return anchor1.hash.length > 1 &&
		( anchor1.href.replace( rhash, "" ) === location.href.replace( rhash, "" ) ||
		  anchor.href.replace( rhash, "" ) === location.href.replace( rhash, "" ) )
}

Looks like we can either handle IE6 not normalizing the href property if its manually set OR handle tabs in a iframe for IE 6/7. Because we are dropping support for IE6 in 1.10 we are going to not handle the IE6 normalizing problem.
